That Jackson merchants are not only quick to take advantage of new and approved methods of do ing business, but are bound to war rant the confidence of their custom ers to the fullest extent, is shown by the recent purchase of Messrs. Carmicliael-Mallet Company. They have just received the most modern weighing machine, which almost thinks for itself. It not only weighs, but computes the cost, showing the exact amount of the purchase in dollars and cents with out any hand or mental operation whatever. You just place the com modity on the platform and the scale does the rest. Customers always like to see just what they are getting, and on this scale the amount is plainly indi cated on the customers’ side of the device. * The subject of scales has occu pied a great deal of the time and attention of city officials and city sellers in all parts of the country. Many scales have been found un reliable and condemned. The spring scales especially have been found to be inaccurate, for, as we all know, a spring will not “spring” the same after it has been used for some time. Springs are also affect ed by heat and cold, and scales that contain springs cannot be re lied upon. This scale is spriugless and can not wear or change. It has been found to be absolutely accurate and is recommended by officials everywhere. This fixture will make a hand some furnishing for Messrs. Car michael-Mallet Company’s store, and they are to be commended for their enterprise and for the open, above-board weighing which allows their customers to “see the wheels go around” for themselves.
