BENSON'S ARGENTINE SILVER The MORNING HERALD, October 23rd, speaking of the Plate in the Exhibition, says, Mr. BENSON, who his a Medal forPlate exhibits some beautiful things." The Argentine is a composition possessing all the beauty ahd richness of colour of Silver with its durability, at a mere fraction of its cost. It is a compound of various metals with a heavy deposit of pure Silver, forming one hard, compact, white body. When the Argentine and the real Silver are placed side by side, he most skilful judge cannot distinguish between them, while its durability is so great that after many years' wear it remains Unaltered. During the last seventeen years it has been so well received by the Public, that its manufacture has been extended to all those articles usually made in Silver, viz. :-Spoons, Forks, Dinner, Tea, and Coffee Services, Waiters, Bread and Cake Baskets, Candelabra, Dishes of all kinds, Epergnes, Claret Jugs, &e. and which can be seen at the various Establishments of J. W. BKNSON, whose new Show Rooms contain an immense Assortment Medai was awarded to J. W. BENSON for excellence of manufacture of Argentine and Electro Plate.
