THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES of PLATE
have induced JOHN JAMES RIPPON, Ironmonger, of
Wells-street, Oxford-street, to MANUFACTURE a SUBSTI-
TUTE for SILVER, possessing all its advantages in point of
appearance and durability, at less than one-tenth the cost. His
BRITISH PLATE is of such a superior quality that it requires
the strictest scrutiny to distinguish it from Silver, than which it is
more durable, every article being made of solid wrought material.
It improves with use, and is warranted to stand the test of the
strongest of acids, aqua fortis. The following is a sample of the
prices ; but purchasers are recommended to apply, post paid, for a
Catalogue, which can be forwarded for a single postage:—

CAITION.—In consequence of the objections so justly urged
against the article called German Silver, the Manufacturers of that
metal are now calling it British Plate, although the materials re-
main unchanged. The British Plate manufactured by John James
Rippon undergoes a Chemical Process, by which it is rendered pure
and superior to any other so called.
