 the workmanship was of a superior quality, and stands the heavy usage 

 without strain or injury.

The exhibit made by the " San Francisco Journal of Commerce" of the 

 manufactures, products, and goods of California, was one of the prominent 

 features of the fair. It was unique in design, and comprehensive in scope, 

 and will undoubtedly be of great benefit as setting forth the resources and 

 capabilities of the State, embracing as it does a great variety of valuable 

 and useful articles. The display was under the charge of W. H. Murray, 

 the Secretary of the company, to whose taste and ingenuity in arrange- 

 ment of details was largely due the credit of the exhibit, and who orig- 

 inated the idea, and carried it to a successful issue. The forty large shields, 

 which were so conspicuous a feature, were also designed by the same gentle- 

 man. The large and plain lettering on these shields, in a concise and well 

 arranged manner, gave the facts desirable to be known regarding the State, 

 its products, population, wealth, manufactures, and commerce.
