FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-Having learned
that in some cases, persons with whom we
have no connection whatever, have been
travelling through the country representing
themselves as our agents, or as selling
scales made from Fairbanks batterns, &C.,
we deem it proper to say that the genuine
Fairbanks scales are made only at Saint
Johnsbury, Vermont, where they have been
made for thirty three years or more, by E.
& T. Fairbanks & Co., the original inven.
tors, and that others represented as such
are only limitations. If the agents for such
other scales have confidence in their merits,
they would have no occasion to resort to
such means to sell them, or avail them
selves Of a reputation which the Messrs.
Fairbanks have honestly earned. All our
travelling agents will be furnished by us
with certificates Of agency, which they will
be happy to show to purchasers with whom
they may not be personally acquainted.
