High Priced Silver Polish

BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN FROM TIFFANY'S 

Hence the Ladies Bit at the Bait -- Are Still Waiting for Spoons and Other Presents

---

An agent claiming to represent Tiffany, of New York, has been reaping a harvest of coins out of silver polish. He was not the ordinary agent who comes to your back door and sells polish for a quarter. But he was an aristocratic agent, selling at aristocratic prices, and asked a dollar, or, if the lady of the house looked "easy," a dollar and a half, for an earthen jar with a nickel top. 

He claimed that Tiffany, of New York, was selling this polish as an advertisement, and with every jar that was bought, a solid silver souvenir spoon was given away, which would be sent from Tiffany's in three days; also for four successive years, a spoon would be sent, and brushes for cleaning silver and cut glass. 

It may be worth noting that the ladies who bought were those who had silver and cut glass. They have their polish, but have seen nothing of their spoons of their brushes and two weeks have passed. Some of the husbands of these ladies think it is a joke, while some of them do not.
