SILVER FORKS AND SPOONS. These articles
are of such regular household use that mos
people who handle them do not stop to ask
how they are made and of exactly what. 1t
will be noticed that some of these useful i'm
plements of domestic life become worn in
such way as to show that they are made of
inferior metal. In this case the silver used
is. the ordinary coin silver The proper silver
for articles which have to stand SO much ser
vice is the British Sterling Standard Silver,
which has nine hundred parts of absolutely
pure silver in every thousand. For many
years Bailey, Banks and Bid9le have sold no
other grade of silver than this.
The production Of new designs in spoons
and forks is Que, requiring much skill and ar
tisiic ability. Novelties are continually call
ed for, and il is specially with Bailey, Banks
and Biddle to respond to this call and ia the
most satisfactory aud ample manner. The
latest novelties in these articles will be found
very beautiful as well as greatly reduced in
price. Az present prices nobody of good taste
and refinement ought to be without silver
spoons. Those who are not well posted as to
recent production in this line will be aston
ished ON visiting Twelfth aud Chestnut street.
Philadelphia, to see the beauty and variety.
