Our Specially Made Silver Plated Ware
HOW THEY ARE MADE
Every teaspoon has three places where most of the wear comes. The
platiner Is worn off these points flrtt. -while the balance of the spoon
wears well Indefinitely. No matter bow well plated they arc In the old
way. this is bound to be the case. We overcome this by a new process
of adding SO per cent, of silver to the points shown above after the
standard plate has been equally distributed. The result Is the special
advantage of strength given by the hard base with the "never-wear-ouf
feature of our SECTIONAL. PLATE. If used constantly, they will
outwear n solid silver spoon coating double the price.
We have these goods In a number of handsome patterns. Tou can't
tell ihem from sterling silver, and every piece Is stamped "Jaeger Bros."
(Nothing- to Indicate plated ware.) Besides spoons we have the KNIVKS.
FORKS and KANCV PIECKS, all made tde same way and thoroughly
guaranteed by us.
If you want something swell at a medium price, either for yourself
or as a present, look at this ware. Tou will be delighted. We sell lots
of it. and take pleasure In showing !t to our customers.
