Farbank's Scales.-'The carelessness of many
mercantile men i'll regard to the weighing machine
used by them and those with whom they deal is
astonishing to those who acquainted with the
general sharpness and srcwdness of the American
mind IN matters of peruniary interest. Immense
sums of money probably lost every year in this
city and country by men who unconsciouslv rob
themselves by employing imperfect scales-though
much may be- in like manner, unjustly acquired, in
cases where the error Of the balances is in favor OF
the owner.
The g Platform Scale'' has now come into very
general use. The article manufactured under this
name by the original patentees well known as re-
liable at all times; but, owing the great celebrity
which these scales have acquired, great number
OF badly made weighing machines of the same form
have been put into market by irresponsible persons
anxious merely to furnish " cheap article!'' Mer.
chants have bought these surprising them to be the
genuine Fairbanks Scales, and have suffered severe
ly in consequence, either in money or reputation for
honesty, by giving either excessive or short weight
