COMMUNITY SILVER—GUARANTEED FOR 25 YEARS.
It la generally acknowledged that Community
Silver has achieved a popularity never approach
ed by any other plated ware. The reasons for this
remarkable success are:
First, because It haa the "style" and appear

tremely rich and deep, and In both the effects of
sterling.
Second, becuusc II represents the truest econo
my. At the present price of silver the heaviest
plate Is the most economical. Triple plate will
wear three times as long as single, while Its ad
ditional cost is by no means three times as great.
Community Silver Is made in a plate heavier
than triple and la guaranteed (both by the manu
facturers and ourselvea) to last 25 years. Any
