If a buyer knows what he is getting it’s another matter, but generally he does not know. The majority of plates imported now are below the standard weight. What per cent, of these light weight plates reach the buyer with nothing to indicate that they are light? As a matter of fact, they arc frequently sold as full weight plates, billed as such and paid for as such. Is it right ? In the long run will it pay any one to be concerned in the transaction ? We think not. Once in a while we lose an order because our price for full weight plates is higher than that quoted by someone else. Nobody in America can or will duplicate our goods at a less price than we ask. When a lower price is quoted, is it on a lower grade or for a lighter weight? Some makers and dealers sell light weight tin as light weight tin. That’s all right, and nobody is deceived. We can’t possibly make a “ mistake ” about weights. \^en you get an extra light price and order on the strength of it—better weigh the plates. HJI IT A MT PHILADELPHIA, NEW YORK, CHICAGO.
