The Morning Herald, October 23rd, speaking of the Plate in the Exhibition, says, "Mr. Benson, who has a Medal for Plate, exhibits some beautiful things." The Argentine is a composition possessing all the beauty and richness of colour ef Silver, with its durability, at a mere fraction of its eost. 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, the most skilful judge caunot 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, Epergues, Claret Jugs, &c.; and which can be seen at the various Establishments of J. W. BENSON, whose new Show Rooms contain an immense assortment. A Prize Medal was awarded to J. W. BENSON for excellence of manufacture of Argentine and Electro-Plate. A Sample Spoon will be sent post-free to any part of the Kingdom on receipt of 30 stamps, and an elaborately Illustrated Catalogue, containing 300 Engravings and Price-list of Argentine and Solid Silver Plate, will be sent Post-free on receipt of Six Stamps.
