I Ie elite Fairbanks, Morse 8: Co. Manufacturers of Pumps Motors Engines Scales Railroad Equipment BEGINNING THE SECOND CENTURY CDF AN IDEAL From Egypt came the crude balance. From Rome the unwieldy steelyard. ln five thousand years of civilization man had made no worthier contribution to the science of weighing until a century ago. In T830 Thaddeus Fairbanks, buying hemp from his Vermont neighbors, conceived the system of weights and levers which is the foundation of every modern scale. Commonplace now-but so revolutionary in 1830 that the leading countries of the world con- ferred high honors upon the ingenious Yankee who gave mankind a method of accurate weighing that has affected profoundly the barter and trade of commerce. TOO years ago! Yet today the name Fairbanks is still synonymous with accurate weight. An inspiring example of business success built upon an Ideal with which T930 begins its second century. Truly, the very basis of barter and commerce lies in man's ability to accurately fix quantity. Each year sees new demands made upon that organization which created modern weighing. With a feeling of pride in its hundred years of achievement, Fairbanks-Morse feels zestfully the challenge of its Second Century. And Fairbanks-Morse is grateful for its place in American life and industry. The organiza- tion shall pursue with iustified pride, new attainments in the elimina- tion of the variable and unknown quantities in America's commerce. r.,,...--F ..
