TO PURCHASERS OF PLATED GOODS.

HAVING learnt that Messrs. A. 13. SAVORY
and SONS, Cornhill, London, presented to each of their
Customers, a Book, containing a List of Prices and description of
articles 'sold by them, we were induced to procure one, wherein we
find some most illiberal allusions to BIRMINGHAM MANUFAC-
TURED PLATED GOODS.
As scecessors to the old-established and well-known firm of
WATERHOUSE and RYLAND of this place, and having been
connected with the plated trade during the whole cf our lives, we
feel called upon, in justification of our characters, as BIRMING-
HAM MANUFACTURERS, to offer a few brief observations in
reply to the statement announced by Messrs. Savory and Sons;
they assert that—" Birmingham plated goods are made from thinly
plated metal and extremely thin silver edges." To this we must in
particular instances assent, and it would appear that Messrs. Savory
and Sons have been remarkably unfortunate in their selection of ma-
nufacturers in Birmingham for the supply of their stock, but as
tradesmen they must know that in Birmingham, goods of every
quality can be obtained, to suit every price, and every market. We

on reflection, the cause is too obvious to require a remark. To
enable them to furnish the public with cheap goods they must have
recourse to those very manufacturers whose articles they so freely
wdeepurledcinaette,galnaddlywaevaapilptehalemtosllellveesssr, st.laSya:worhyeatnhderStohnesy,
do not every day embrace the opportunity, of replenishing their stock
from these much abused sources. We appeal to them, whether
they would not be glad of a supply of our manufacture, provided we
were willing to furnish them at such prices as would suit their ad-
vertising system ; but they are aware that our goods are equal in
quality and workmanship to those made in Sheffield, therefore at
prices adequate, consequently incompatible with their views. We
would be well contented without their orders, but when by erro-
neous statements they endeavour to deprive us of orders from others,
we feel it a duty incumbent upon us to refute those statements
which have such a feasible and imposing tendency upon the public
mind.
One other assertion Messrs. Savory and Sons have made upon
which we feel bound to offer a remark, viz.:—" The workmanship
likewise is orthe common description." As a proof that Messrs.
Savory and Sons have been again unfortunate in their selection of
workmen, we shall merely name one indisputable fact, of which
