It is very seldom that anew article steps so suddenly into universal tavor. House keepers are loud iu its praise, it is always, ready, there are no weights to get lost or to be hunted up, is reliable and will not get out ol order. Ihe description of them is a handsome base susmounted by a column in which works a spiral spring so scientifically adjuster! as to weigh anything up to twelve pounds, with per fect accuracy; on the top of the column is the platform on which the articles to be weighed are placed, and they have an adjustable indi cator so that you can take the tare of any ves sel you may use in weighing, giving you the exact weight. Housekeepers at once see their value in weighing fruits, sugars, and other In gredients mtu in preserving, ©making. etc., or in testing the weights of purchases from others.:. The Scales are made of brass, are highly polished, and arc finished in a skillful manner, l’hey are very attractive and take the eye of every one who sees theux It seems to us that nearly every family in this county will want one, and is certainly a rare opportunity for some sturrt and "energetic party to pick up quite a nice little income dur ing the next tew mouths. The Company has ageu‘3 iu in other counties who are easily mak ing from $5.00 to $6,00 per day selling them, and we would recommend parties in need of employment to drop the Ohio Scalr Works, No. 125 and 127 Central Avenue, Cincinnati, 0., a postal card, and all information, etc,, will be cheerfully given them by mentioning 001 paper.
