A.K.P. Trask Trask's Practical Ferrotyper (Philadelphia: Benerman & Wilson, 1872).
 
EGGSHELL, GLOSSY, CHOCOLATE-TINTED. (PATENTED MARCH 1st, 1870.) ALL SIZES, FROM 1-9 to 10x14. USE NONE BUT THE PHENIX.
 
THE PHENIX PLATE COMPANY, Worcester, Mass.,
 
Are now making the most popular brands of plates in the trade.
 
For example of work on them see Trask's Practical Ferrotyper. In his comments on the pictures Mr. Trask says:
 
"The largest portion is made on the eggshell, chocolate-tinted plate, manufactured by the Phenix Plate Co., Worcester, Mass., and I must compliment them on their success in manufacturing the best eggshell, chocolate-tinted plates I ever used. They have overcome all the objections I have heretofore found, and mentioned on other pages. There are no signs of the black comet. The plates are perfectly clean, the surface is hard, and the collodion flows smoothly, without spilling. They also give the picture that rich, warm tone which cannot be had with the black plate. I cannot help congratulating the ferrotype world on the successful manufacture of this valuable plate, as it will create a new era in the ferrotype business, and the Phenix Ferrotype Plate Company are entitled to great credit. I have not spoiled one picture in a whole day's work on account of imperfections in the plate. This is a great saving of time and material."
 
We could not ask a better testimonial than this.
 
Eggshell, Olossy, and Chocolate-Tinted Plates, all sizes and styles, always on hand and ready for delivery.
 
Each package of Phenix Plates has printed on the wrapper, "Manufactured by the Phenix Plate Co., Worcester, Mass.," and none are genuine unless bearing that stamp.
 
We have made arrangements with the Scovill Manufacturing Co., constituting them our sole and exclusive agents for the sale of our Plates.
 
That Company is so well and favorably known in the business, that no commendation of ours is required to assure the Trade that they will be liberally dealt with in every respect.
 
Phenix Plates are for sale by all Stockdealers throughout the country.
 
PHENIX PLATE CO, Manufacturers,
Worcester, Mass.
