Secondly, it added a great deal of cheerfulness to the part of the Pavilion 

 in which it was placed. This was remarked by many. In fact, I might 

 say that it was the feature of the new part of the Pavilion. Trusting 

 that the above reasons may be evidence enough to your committee of 

 our just claim to the award asked for, 



We are, yours truly, ISAAC P. ALLEN & CO. 



STATEMENT OF JOHN BBEUNEB. OF SACRAMENTO. 



To the Gold Medal Committee: 



The reason why the gold medal premium should be awarded to me on 

 the articles mentioned herein is: 



Home Manufactory. — One Turkey lounge, one sick chair, one walnut 

 high' dining chair, two walnut embroidered ladies' chairs, one walnut 

 parlor suit (seven pieces), one California laurel parlor suit (seven pieces), 

 one attorney's office desk, with revolving desk, book shelves of walnut 

 and laurel; one office rotary chair, two bedroom chairs, one rocking 

 chair, one walnut hat rack, one towel rack, one spring mattress, one 

 hair mattress. 



Any good mechanic must acknowledge that the articles mentioned 

 are the best of workmanship, and cannot be excelled; and it was the 

 best display ever exhibited in this State.

STATEMENT OF E. C. TEEEY & CO., OF SACEAMENTO. 



To the Honorable Committee for Awarding the Gold Medal at the State Fair 

 of eighteen hundred and seventy : 



Our reasons for claiming the medal are that we believe we had the 

 best and most meritorious display in the fourth department of home 

 (or domestic) manufacture, added to our goods partly and wholly 

 manufactured abroad. 



Our French ranges, broilers, copper boilers, and copper furniture are 

 California manufacture, mostly of our own make, and our display of 

 stoves and heaters, mounted and partly manufactured by us. In short, 

 we claim that we exhibited more home manufactured goods than any 

 other party in this department. 



Very truly and respectfully yours, E. C. TEEEY & Co.
