The Barbour Silver Co.’s Purchase

Hartford, Ct., Aug. 7. — In the matter of the sale of the Hartford Silver Plate Co. to the Barbour Silver Co. of this city, it appears that the latter concern has purchased only the stock on hand and the machinery of the Hartford Silver Plate Co. The stock alone will represent an inventory value of about $225,000 and work on the inventory will hardly be completed for another week.

Secretary Barbour to a Circular representative said he contemplated no changes at the present time in the methods followed by the Hartford Silver Plate Co. in marketing its wares.
