EDS. RECORD USIoS: The electric light at the
State Fair Pavilion, which l represent, is not q
Stockton light, as your reporter imagines but is
the invention of Mr. Jenney, OF Fort Wayne
Ind. The company sold its first plant on this
coast at stockton about year ago and the State
FAR Association contracted with the Stockton
Company for furnishing fifty lights during the
few other causes, the lights are not yet quite up
TO our usual standard. The Jenney system
claims TO be the simplest, and in some respects
the best in the market. The manner
IN which the dynamcs and lamps are con-
Structed make them easy to repair in case of acct
dent, and the whiteness of the light is a partic-
ular feature of the system. While acknowledge.
ing the merits of other systems we do not
admit q superior, and so far we have been able
to prove our claims to the entire satisfaction of
the public. The Jenny Company operated
greater number of are lights at the Worlds Fair
than any other company, and the system won
high praise from all. We are now lighting the
entire Southern Exposition ut Louisville KY.
which IS sufficient evidence of the merits of the
Jenny light. G. A. WILBUR
Western Agent Jenny Electric Light.
