How Nails Are NameI

Two accounts are given Of the origin
OF the terms "six-penny, eight
penny" "ten-penny," and SO on, ms
applied to the various sizes of nails
According to one statement. when
nails were made by hand, the penny
was taken as a standard OF weight. and
six were made TO equal the weight OF
IL copper penny. This explanation is
open to criticism on account of tho
very small size of the nails OF which
six were needed 90 balance even the
large sized, old-fnshionei copper
penny. The other is much more prob.
able. 1t afirms that six were sold for
a penny, and the name grew into use.
even when the price changed, anil the
larger kinds were, from popular
mistake, called teu.pcuny AMI so ON,
