The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1878-10-02

1875, for the splendid display made
at Philadelphia in Agricultural Hall
In the present Exhibition they have
none of the beautiful cases of snow
white starch which capti7ated the
ladies, and made their beautiful
kiosk the wonder and admiration o1
thousands and thousands of visit,
ors. The Maize or Indian corn in
terest, of which the Messrs. Duryea
are one of the principal representa-
ti7es, is one of the most important
in the United States. It employs
a capital in it's various processes OF
over one thousand millions, the
corn crop of two years ago being
over thirteen hundred millions Of
bushels. The tremendous magni-
tude of this interest can scarcely
be estimated, and it's Importance is
not fully understood by one person
in an hundred thousand even in
the United States. It is for the
purpose of awakening the i'll fed
people of Europe to the excellence
of Maize as an article Of food that
they have entered the Paris Exhi-
bition of 1878. They could win no
additional honor from the contest,
already their splendid case of gold
and silver medals marked their tri-
umphs in various portions Of the
world, but the reputation of their
maizena, has given them pre-emi-
nence in this particular speciality,
and to this fact is due the gold
medal which will undoubtedly be
awarded them. The corn starch
and maizena, exhibited by them is
as white as the finest Of wheat -four,
and in the preparation of the thous-
and little dainty dishes for which
the French are so famous, it is one
Of the most important articles. The
remarkable enterprise and ability
exhibited by this firm entitle them
to the highest honors and we sin
cerely hope they may receive them.
The Dixon Grucihle Co., Of Jer
sey City, have in addition to their
orucibles, a splendid exhibit Of
lead pencils the quality Of which is
unsurpassed in the world. The
variety and beauty of these goods
entitle them to the very highest
praise. It is only few years ago
since this enterprise was inaugura-
ted in the United States, and now
they can be found all over the
civilized world. The marvellous
success of this enterprise is ex-
clusively due to the talented and
energetic President of the Dixon
Crucible Co., the Hon. Orestes
Cleveland, who was Vice-President
of the Centennial Exhibition at
Philadelphia, and is the present
President of the American Institute
ofNew York. A gold medal rewards
Mr.. Cleveland. Larrabie & Co., of
Albany, have a fine exhibition Of bis
cults in fact so fine that it looks
like a fairy bower. Hundreds and
hundreds Of the most beautiful bis
cults are arranged like mosaic
work all around their case, which
the gentlemanly attendant, Mr..
Spear, dispenses with the lavish
and generous hand. I am happy
to be able to state that a gold med
al goes to Albany-well done for
Larrabie & Co.
A beautiful / exhibit is that Of LIE.
Roy Fairchild, the Gold Pen manu-
facturer of New York. If, indeed,
the pen is mightier than the sword,
Mr.. Fairchild must be a mighty
man for he has the most unique
and beautiful exhibit of gold pens
in the Exposition of 1878. They
are here of every variety, little and
big, fine and coarse. Bank pens
and mercantile pens, pens for love
letters, wills and briefs, in short,
pens for every conceivable object
for which ever pen were used. Mr..
Fairchild, 7 believe, is another gold
medalist and he merits the honor
he receives.
In the Machinery department
there are many wonderful and GU
rious things. Machines for making
tin pans with a single stroke Of q
mighty punch, machines for max
ing hand sewed shoes. How's that
for bull; punches and sewers and
weavers and cutters, all Of them
busy and all of them wonderful.
