  "Lot of cast turned and engraved white metal Brittania ware, John H. Whitlock, Troy. Your committee's eyes were greatly dazzled when called upon to examine this ware. Visions of services of plate regally engraved and inscribed floated through our brains. Great then was our astonishment when we found that the beautiful material before us was but brittania. We strongly advise our friend Whitlock of Troy, to re-name his beautiful wares in order that his friends and customers may not be so greatly astonished. Seriously however, your committee have yet to see any thing that contributed more to the show of beautiful articles than this self same ware. Its silvery whiteness and astonishing strength proclaim it of the purest metal composition, while its elegant shapes and magnificent engraving vie strongly with the rich silver services of a "Ball & Black," or others of our silver services manufacturers. It was beautiful, and your committee were pleased, and award a Diploma and Large Silver medal."
