ELECTRO-PLATING
AND REPAIR WORKSHOPS: OBSERVATION POINT, WANCHAL
The Electro-Plating Works laid down some years ago base proved a distinot success, both in the high quality of work expeditiously turned out sad also in the fact that our clienta eved considerable delay and HEAVY EXPENSE in seading home tarnished metal ware for replating.
This VARIABLE and DAMP CLIMATE will cause both sliver and electro-plated metal to fornith, therefore why allow such eyesores, when it is possible to make equal to new at small cost P
The Workshop Plant has recently been considerarty enlarged with additional facilities for BRONZING, ANTIQUE COPPER, OXYDIZED SILVER and other fancy finishes.
SHIPS FITTINGS.
It is hordly necessary to date on the great convenience to shipping firms, in the knowledge that aloon Cabin or Deck Fittings, dinner services, ato., can be made equal to new in the shortest time at fomentetida count:
HOUSE AND SHOP FITTINGS,
Brass Bedsteads, Ornaments, hop Rails and Fittinge, etc., all need attention in the- course of time, and the benefits of local remedy again appeal strongly
