Trusting you will appreciate the importance of encouraging and 

 sustaining our company in introducing so invaluable an article to 

 the people of the Pacific Coast, as the one to which I now have the 

 honor to call your attention, 



1 remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, 



Your obedient servant, 



GEORGE G. W. MORGAN, Agent. 



San Francisco, September 24th, 1875. 



To the Committee on Gold Medals: 



Gentlemen: Jn presenting our claim for your consideration we 

 desire to call your attention to a few practical points, which we feel 

 confident are of more importance to the public in general than is 

 conceded by one person in a hundred. The manufacture of yeast 

 powder, though apparently an insignificant article, is taking from 

 this State, monthly, many thousands of dollars. It is depriving the 

 ~ ite of manufactories that would otherwise give employment to 

 hundreds of men and children, which now benefits the Eastern 

 States almie. There is no one article which enters so generally into 

 human food as yeast powder — it is of very extensive use, being used 

 by rich and poor alike. Within the past two years we have suc- 

 ceeded materially in reducing the importation of yeasl powder, and 

 we now feel confident, with the encouragement from ,t he State that 

 we deserve, the importation of this important article can he entirely 

 stopped, a permanent manufactory sustained, and employment given 

 to hundreds of willing hands, besides keeping thousands of dollars 

 that is exported monthly from our coast. 



We have on exhibition at your fair again this year our yeast pow- 

 der, which has taken at ten State and county fairs, after a thorough 

 test, the first premium. It is -acknowledged by all who have ever 

 used it to be the best and cheapest in use. Knowing that the honors 

 which you can justly bestow upon our efforts will lie a certain guar- 

 antee to the foregoing, and in consideration of such a reward, we 

 pledge ourselves to maintain the standard and excellence of our 

 manufacture, and merit thereby the confidence of a liberal and 

 enlightened public. 



Trusting this will be sufficient to entitle us to your favorable 

 consideration. 



We are, gentlemen, yours very truly, B( > W EN & BR( >S.

To the Committee on Gold Medals, California State Agricultural Society : 



Gentlemen: In presenting my claims to the gold medal for the 

 fourth department, I take the liberty to call your attention to the 

 following facts, which tend to show that in point of importance the 

 article manufactured and exhibited by me — to wit. glue — and for 

 which 1 have dow been twice in succession awarded the premium 

 and diploma at your fair-, over all other competitors, is one of para- 

 mount importance among the manufactures of this St.
