THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD: FOLLOWING CERTIFICATE HAS JUST BEEN RECEIVED FROM BANGKOK, SIAM. [Illustration] ENGLISH TRANSLATION. =THIS IS TO CERTIFY=, _that Fairbanks’ Scales have been used at H. S. M.’s Custom House for many years, and have given every satisfaction, especially so far as durability is concerned, as it is almost a wonder that they are not broken and smashed long ago, considering the rough usage they are getting on board of boats, lighters, sailing ships, steamers, on wharves and in warehouses, where they have to be transported daily, having, for instance, weighed about five millions of piculs Rice last year, with only about a dozen scales, and without one accident._ _A.
