QUALITY WILL TELL

In 1848 Jacob Wiss, a Swiss instrument maker, 1848 a dog-power opened a modest shop in Bank Street, Newark, N.J. treadmill He began to forge out instruments and a few pairs of shears-a trade he had learned thoroughly in Europe. He worked slowly and with infinite care, and presently people began to say Wiss Shears were the best they had ever used. There was good reason fer this approbation, for Wiss Shears were so well made that, after more than 50 years of service, some of the first pairs produced were still in use. Slowly the Wiss enterprise grew; and in 1887, a small part of the present factory was bu ilt. It was devoted exclusively to the manufacture of fine shears and scissors, and soon it was crowded to capacity. To-day the factories of J. Wiss & Sons Company are the largest of their kind in the world-and one of the principal reasons for their prodigious growth is a firm adherence to t he policy of Jacob Wiss to produce nothing but goods of the highest quality.

HOW WISS SHEARS ARE MADE

To the average man or woman, one pair of shears is very much like another. As a matter of fact, there is a vast difference between Wiss Shears and those of inferior make; and we believe it is worth while to briefly describe our more important operations. If the dealer is acquainted with these points, he can easily satisfy his customers of the superior quality of Wiss Shears; and also see for himself why this quality means a better invest­ ment. We recommend that both dealers and their clerks familiarize them­ selves with these details, as they will be found of great assistance in selling cutlery.

NEWARK,~~A N.J.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: WI S S

FORGING THE FRAME

The frame of Wiss Shears is forged from a very tough special forging steel under a powerful drop-hammer. This steel is used because it renders the frame practically unbreakable, and because its toughness and pliability in the initio ! stages of manufacture permit the per­ manent odiustment so necessary to smooth .

It also makes it possible to mould the handles to !O!Xadlythe correct shape. You con hammer, bend, ond twist the handles of Wiss Shears. and sti ll not break them .

As a result of this process, we produce shears that will stand up under severe strains for years-with handles properly fitted to the hand­ and blades so accurately adjusted that they cut the goods without gnawing and with the least possible effort.

to the tou~hfr11me

WELDING THE CUTTING EDGE

After the frame has been forged, a piece of the finest crucible steel is welded to the inner side of the . This fo rms the cutting edge, and the two pieces, after welding, become one and forever insepar­ able.

Crucible steel is used because it takes a very ha rd degree of temper, and therefore can take ond hold the keenest possible edge. Thus we obtain cut-ting edges that will stay sharp for an indefinite time. HMdening the Wiss She11r Bl11de

DRILLING THE SCREW HOLE

After welding, the blade must be trimmed of oil surplus metal to re­ store its proper sha pe. The screw hole is then drilled; and although this is appa rently a simple operation, it is done wit h the utmost care and precision. The position and size of the hole must be exact to • the t housandth part of on inch, otherwise the blades would be loose, and the shears would not cut smoothly-a condition often found in shears of inferior quality.

HARDENING AND TEMPERING

The blade is now ready for hardening. It is heated to a fixed degree "Peening" o r ond , while hot, plunged into a fMk of running woter. Stroi9htening

NEWARK, N. J. u. s. A.

-4 WI S S

Afte r hardening, the blade is tempered. It is placed in a special solution, Md heat treated in such a way that the steel is made tough and durable. This operation is so accu rately regulated that the blades of all W iss Shears are of uniform temper or hardness.

This is of great importance, for whenever there is even a slight differ­ en ce in temper, the harder blade will wear into the softer one, greatly

shortening the life of the shears, and no amount of <;,·in ding or sh..,rp· en ing con ever remedy this condition.

It is largely because of their evenly tempered blades that Wiss ShaMs last a lifetime.

Grinding

"PEENING" AND GRINDING

The rigors of hardening an d tempering have left their imprint upon the blade, so that it is now warped and crooked. It must be "peened'', or straightened, into proper shape.

A skillful mechanic places the blade on an anvi l and taps it carefully with a light hammer until the desired shape is secured.

The blade is still crude but soon loses its rough appea rance when ground on various stones, measuring from fifteen inches to six feet in diameter. Polishir~g

THE FINISHING TOUCHES

Up to this stage the blades have been treated separa tely. Now they are paired, and screwed together, and put into perfect shape.

The shears are next polished, nickel plated or japanned, as the case may be-and then finished.

Expert finishers toke each one and adjust the blades so that they come together in a perfectly straight line with on even tension. The cutting qua-lities ore then thoroughly tested to make sure that the finishing has been done properly.

The shears ore now ready for their final inspection. They ore gone .over carefully, and should any defects be discovered, that pair is promptly discarded, for no shears that ore imperfect are ever branded "W ISS". Finishing

We experimented with chromium plating for mMy months, and d iscovered-that a chromium plating such as we hove perfected does the following things:

First-Chromium plating is rust-resisting. It keeps the shears new and shiny indefinitely.

Second-The ch romiu m plating protects the edges. lt keeps the shears sharp longer.

Third-Chromium ploting gives a smoother cut than is available with nickel-plated shears.

WISS MANICURE AND PEDICURE IMPLEMENTS

The manicure and pedicure scissors and implements, illustrated in the next five pages, are the result of many years of practical research.

In these skill and materials are perfectly blended to produce the finest articles of their kind that can be had.

The manicure scissors are so well adiusted, for example, that one may use them with either the right or left hand with equal ease.

Wiss manicure scissors will retain this delicate adiustment and remain sharp longer than ordinary scissors. Yet when necessary, they may be repaired and resharpened to a condition as good as new.

The pedicure scissors are so sturdily built and cut so easily that they are much in demand by industry for cutting light wire.

It is always easy to keep ones toe and fingernails in good condition with Wiss pedicure scissors.

Owing to the increased demand for manicure and nail nippers, we offer to the trade, on pages 20 and 21, a complete line of nippers made of the finest steel, carefully tempered, accurately adiusted, and i·ndividually tested before leaving the factory.

We offer these with the utmost confidence that they are second to none in quality and ease of cutting. They are suitable for either professional or home use.

On page 22 is shown a carefully selected line of high grade files, tweezers and cuticle pushers.
