Builds Goodwill

Accurate scales build customer goodwill; so says the Herbert & Sons leaflet.

 

Here are the scales used to weigh out orders at Atkinson's. They may be old, but they are quick and accurate - I re-weighed my tea at home on my electronic scales, and the weight was spot on.

 

These scales were made sometime between 1910 and 1945. The maker, Herbert & Sons, was established in London in 1760 and is still trading.

 

You can see different models of Lion scales at 1:36 and 4:32 in this fascinating historical film, here:
