Table-Spoons, Tea-Spoons, and Forks. 
These goods are warranted to be of first quality, plated 
with full weight of pure silver on the finest kind of 
spring-tempered Nickel Silver. They are the “ A 1 
Standard Plate ” of tlie Wilcox Silver Plate Company, 
and arc twenty per cent heavier than the ordinary mar¬ 
ket standard. A perfectly reliable article, not beginning 
to “wear off” after a few weeks’ use, but lasting for 
years, and almost as good and as serviceable as solid sil¬ 
ver would be. The design of the handles is a delicate 
flower pattern, combined with figures of the elegant and 
fashionable “Eastlake ” style. Any dinner table would 
be ornamented when furnished with this ware, than 
which nothing better could be found for the price. Each 
article is stamped on the back, “ Wilcox 
Silver Plate Company.” The Forks are 
“medium size,” which is the most con¬ 
venient for general use, serving equally well 
for meat, fish, or dessert.

No. 24.— Pie-Knife.— P r ‘ c0 $3.50. 
—This knife can also be used for ice-cream, 
jelly, and many other dishes, in serving 
which neither a knife nora spoon will answer 
the purpose exactly. Like the preceding 
articles, it is of the finest quality silver plate, 
and perfectly reliable. The shape is a re¬ 
markably graceful one, and particularly convenient for 
the purpose. Both the blade and handle of the knife 
are ornamented with elaborate and intricate patterns.

No. 25.—Sugar-Shell.— Price 75 cents.—This 
little sugar-spoon is a remarkably elegant looking article, 
on account of the graceful form and artistic ornamenta¬

handle. A prettier present for a lady friend could hardly 
be found for the price. We will send it, post-paid, for 1 
new subscription at $1.50; OR, supply it for the price. 
No. 26.—Plated Dinner Knives.— i doz¬ 
en.—Price $5.50.—Silver knives, besides being far less 
trouble to keep clean than steel ones, which have 
to be “ rubbed ” after every meal, are more economical 
and certainly much more ornamental to the table. Those 
we offer are guaranteed to be triple plated on steel, and 
will prove to be perfectly reliable, strong, and durable. 
They have the pointed, “ Windsor” handles, a new and 
fashionable shape, and are of the medium size, which is 
the most convenient for general use, as they can, when

No. 28.—Spoon Holder.— Price $7.75.—The

little vase is of particularly dainty and novel design.

swans, with outspread wings, which form the feet of the 
vase. The figures on the sides are of silver, a bird pat¬ 
tern on one side, and flowers in a group on the other. 
This vase is five inches high, and appropriate for holding 
a fresh rose, with a spray of smilax or fern; but, even 
when empty, forms an elegant ornament in itself, than 
which nothing could be prettier for a present. We give

supply it for the price. Carriage prepaid.
