PRODUCTION of the new article to the notice
of the masses of the outside world
Howe's scales are decidedly Vermont
institution, and Brandon is their birthplace.
The success that has attended the sale of
the scale is owing to its intrinsic merit, for
without this necessary and fundamental
foundation it would ere this have been
eclipsed by other lesser inventions that flood
the country. Taking as a foundation, the
merit of the thing, and adding thereto n
strong and enterprising will and purpose to
put it in its true light before the people
and at the same time a determination to
manufacture the best thing possible, and
we have the why's and wherefores of the

The Brandon manufacturing company
at Brandon, who hold the manufacture of
Howe's scales in their sole right, have
achieved abundant success in the business
and deserve the credit and reputation which
they now enjoy as scale manufacturers.

the Howe scale was at the National Exhi-
bition held at Kioyto. Japan, in the months
of March, April and May last, when the
Howe scale was exhibited to the wonder

mend the invention as superior to all others
seen by them in use and express themselves
strongly in its favor, after testing tlrl
various varieties exhibited during the time
The agent for the company at San Fran
cisco, Mr.. " $. W. Parkhurst, deserves

This premium but adds another to tll,
long list of testimonials in favor of these

ditional evidence of the high repute the il
