silver ware Is that which places 1t within the

the market and not for permanent use. Hence
the importance Of caution and discrimination
when you are about to purchase the plated
ware. There Is no way To determine the value
Of an article except through the stamp which
carries the reputation OF the manufacture.
Trade marks and names are OF great value.

LooKiN0 HROU0 THE WORKS.
On q visit recently TO w~allingford. Connecti-
out where the works OF Simpson. HALL, 4 Co.
arc located, We we're shown all about the pro-
ceAs OF manufacture OF silver ware. The bs
els OF GOOD silver ware In white metal. the CON
position Of which 10 no matter, and In q mcss-
ure secret and peculiar with each house. This
house max es its own metal ; mixing 1t 10 the
only secret. The mixture Is cast into ingots,
which are rolled into sheets of any desired size
These sheets are made by powerful steam ma
chimes, and the material becomes very hard
and Arm. From the sheets are cut b AMI Ks. AZ
ter patterns for the various articles which are
Intended to be made, The blanks then go to
the spinning room. where form and shape are
given them. This 10 q very interesting process.
In q moment, Us II were. We SEQ q blank sheet
rounded up and transformed into q cup. q
pitcher, bowl or the large urn, and II Ia oil
one and the same piece as before. Then
comes the soldering. VIII ire attachments, such
a. handles. feet or spouts are affixed. The
metal ware Is thus completed entirely. and
then 1t is polished thoroughly, and indeed II

ouires artists Of the best skill. Here the Va
ried patterns which We see ere produced. and
the work requires much time as we'll rs skill.
After all this It il ready for plating.
THE PLATING.
How Ia II doneY Years OF study by the best
minds have been spent In solving the best
method Of doing good plating. But the pro
process IL very simple. The ware IL suspended

thickness desired, and alike on all parts OF the
article. The electric machine owned by simp-
son. Hall. Miller 4 Co. Is q very expensive one,
but its value is still greater In the rapidity
and accuracy with which It does its work.
When the plating Is done the ware Is rough.
But then IT goes to the furnishing room where
the silver il packed and frightened. and here
is a peculiar feature which this house gives
prominence to. All their ware Is FURNISHED by
not bu6sd. The difference IL this Buf.
f1ng 10 machinery work, and Is resorted to be-
cause Of the saving in labor. Hand finishing
is the rubbing Of steel. tempered in the highest
degree, and itself FURNISHED, upon the ware a.
1t comes from the battery. II has been proven
satisfactorily that the bufing, or machine I'm
ishing, cannot produce the hardness or com
in the ware equal to the hand finish. |
aud that the silver ware produced by the buff
fing process does not wear near 40 long. Hand
finish attaches the silver to the metal more
firmly. flls up every pore more compactly. and
yet the difference q rot observable to the pur-
chaser. his reliance being based solely upon the
name which the article bean.
eONErHING o THE
siEpsoR. Hall. Miller 4 Co. began in 1899 by |
organizing q stock company for the manufac-
ture of silver ware Mr.. Simpson, who was
elected president at the organization. has had
. AIRY years experience in the sam line. and
indeed. he was one Of the pioneers in this
in the production Of frt-class plated
ware. He has ever since devoted his personal
attention to the factory and 20 all the details
thereof. A good name was the fortune he
and his ambition has been realized by
himself and his co-workers and co-partncrs.
Prom that time TO this the WORKS have been
kept busy. and the demand for their product
from three to four hundred workmep their
wares are sold in every part Of the world. and
II every section Of this country. Ii Is recoa-
Missed everywhere o. superior, and the name

makes IT pass q current and reliable goods;
goods that will wear. and that any time contain
permanent value as does the coin itself.
Purchasers everywhere should therefore
seek their own protection in seeing that they
