“In these later years the silver service plate has been coming more generally into use in America. It undoubtedly gives a much finer appearance to any table when the guests first enter the dining-room. In addition to its beauty there is the comfort of economy, because, although these plates cost more in the first place, they will last a lifetime and eventually graduate into heirlooms.”
