"For more than thirty years Dayton Scales have protected the merchant's profit. Their accuracy, dependability and durability are attested to by the fact that some of the first scales made are still in use and giving satisfactory service; and by the fact that Dayton Scales have won the approval of municipal, state and national governments.
