Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals
and Diplomas Won at
Atlanta.
List of the Successful Exhibitors Who
Competed With the World
in Georgia.

California has covered herself with glory
at the International Cotton Exposition
held at Atlanta, Ca, and has won more
medals. honors and diplomas than any
other State in the Union. Los Angeles
was the first to go to the front on the
proposition of sending an exhibit of Cali
fornia products to the exposition, and for
q time it looked as though only the
southern part of the State would be
represented.
J. A. Filcher, manager and secretary of
the State Board of Trade, located in this
City, was determined that the northern
aud middle sections should be represented,
anG after an endless amount of work he
overcame the obstacles in the way of the
project, and carried to the Georgia fair one
of the finest exhibits that was ever COL
lected in the State. 1t was through Mr..
f ilcher's efforts that all parts of the State
consolidated in the undertaking.
The labor involved and the money ex-
pended has been amply repaid by Cali
fornia carrying off more prizes and honors
than any other State. The following list
of competitors who won prizes, etc, will
satisfy almost any one that the exhibit
from California was made to a very good
purpose:
