SOME PEOPLE.

Are fair-isindsd.to each we refer the Male qoea tioa. For nan; year* a great monopoly owned the patent and aiaaaaad miliionaof dollar., When tua patent expired the invention became public properly, ant any one has a local and moral ri<hi to make Fairbanks* Scales. I here are some dvsen companies making cenuine Fairbanks’ Scales, genuine because they an the exact scale invented and p» tented by Fairbank. The valueot a scale snould be determined , not by the name of the maker nor too price, bnt by its accuracy and durability, resulting from the nse Of good material by skilled mechanics. When thia famous patent existed the price of a FiveTon W agon Scale was $215, now as good a scale is made and sold at a living profit, for .iity dollars, by Jones, of Binghamton. Binghamton,N. Y- andjones he pays the freight. This s fair competition and should be met In an bonorable manner, but instead resort is bad to every spades of misrepresentation, outright falsehood, oontemptib e meanness, bribery and conspiracy, n e hold the bead of the Fairbank company, ex-Governor ot Vermont, the high-toned Christian gentleman, noted for his liberality to chi rch and Sunday-school, responsible for ths rascality of his employee, for be pockets the ill-gotten gains We appeal to any one who baa aver had any conversation with a Fairbank Scale Agent relating to the Jones Scale, to substantiate our statement. They have succeeded in deceiving many into paylog double price, and no doubt have Tie ! us out of many thou •and dollars, but we have prospered, simply b-cauee we have kept faith with our patrons, sold them a good scale at a fair price, and done as we agreed every limo. The smooth-tongue liar will tell you the Jooes, Scale “ain’t good for nothing.” but that won’t Induce any fair-minded person to reject the testimony of many thousands who have used the Jooes Scale. Some for nearly twenty years. Jones asks no money till the buyer has an opportunity to try his scale, and see that it is as represented. Every Joses Scale is warranted for five years, and no men cansay that Jones ever failed to make his warrant good. Remember, Jones pays the freight and takes all risks of loss or breakage on the way. An attempt Js often made to deceive by that a scale is the U, 8. Standard, meanltg to convey the impression that the Government has something to do with it, which is not the fact. Any scale by whomsoever made, that is correct according to the weights adopted by the Government, is just as much a U. 8. Standard as any other. Every one who has any dealing in scales should addreee JONKBOF BINGHAMTON, B nghamton, N. ¥., for free book on scales, which gives prices of all sizes of scales and other valuable information.
