process is OF the most simple nature, as fol-

specially adapted to the purpose, has two plates
OF SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip OF heavy plated
composition, from which the cases, backs, GEN.

Die dies and formers. The gold In these cases
is suf1lciently thick to admit OF all kinds OF
