OUR POSITION
ON AMERICAN TIN PLATE.
The numerous inquiries made of us as to how soon we would manufacture or distribute American plates that would be of the same class or high grade of excellence as those which we are now guaranteeing, render it necessary that we should publicly answer and define our position, which is as follows:
Up to this writing we are not aware of any American maker who can give us the quantity we daily require, and the all important guarantee required by this house; nor is it reasonable for us to expect it at this early period.
It musii be known that months of time, thought and considerable money were expended by its before the best plates known to the American trade were put upon the market, anl we assure the trade — HOW as we did THEN — that reputation with us is parair )unt.
We aim to give the best plates that can be made, and are confident that we are doing it to- lay as we have been doing in the past, and as soon as we can secure American plates EQUAL TO THOSE WE NOW GUARANTEE, OUR PATRO US SHALL HAVE THEM; but we wi h it understood that our idea of malufacturing tin plates is not that of DIPPING a plate made elsewhere and the use and ABUSE of a stamping machine. Any one familiar with the tin-plate business kn iws full well such a plant (?) can be erected and in operation in a few days.
