FAIRBASKs' SCALES.
These scales are rapidly tskinx the
lead of their competitors. Wherever
they have been tried they give entire
satisfaction, while the demand for
them Is steadily increasing. In this
city and vicinity they are becoming
very popular, as the following fzcts
plainly show:
Messrs. Fairbanks a Co. have lust
completed for the Niagara elevator
two OF their fifty -ton patent iron frame
hrcad gauge railroad track scales, with
platforms each fifty-three feet long.
There scales are To replace two Howe.
track scales, which have been la u--
at the elevator. The new Fsirbau k-
scales are, We believe, the largest aud
longest ever built for au elevator, and.
~ they are liaced end to end, they
form a continuous platform Of one
hundred and six feet, making the
longest scale In this vicinity. Me--is.
