Nearly every macliine illustrated herewith, is covered hy letters patent; ourprices include the right to use in any part of the United States . We have foundit necessary to secure patents to protect ourselves against the piracy of partieswho appropriate, without permission, to their own rises the designs and improve-ments of others so far as they dare without incurring the penalty of the law.Our rights have very generally been respected, but in some cases we have beencompelled to appeal to the law for protection, and restraining injunctions havebeen granted. We shall continue this course in the future in all cases where°ur patents are infringed.
That the reputation of our machinery is world-wide and its superior excel-lence everywhere appreciated is evidenced by the fact that we are constantlyreceiving orders and making almost weekly shipments to France , England, Scot land , Ireland , Germany , Russia , Persia , Sweden , Norway , Italy , Spain , Belgium ,Africa , Japan , West India Islands, Mexico , Brazil , Chili, Peru , Uruguay , and otherSouth American republics, also New Zealand , Australia , and every state and ter-ritory of the United States of America .
At the numerous expositions that we have attended in competition for excel-lence we have received the highest awards, and in some cases complimentarytestimonials, especially at the World’s Expositions in Vienna , 1873, Santiago, Chill,l 875, Centennial, Philadelphia, 1876, Paris , 1878, and Sydney , Australia , 1879. Attbe Chicago International Railway Appliance Exposition in 1883 five Grand GoldMedals and eighteen Silver Medals were awarded, the largest number ever received1} y a single exhibitor at any one exhibition.
At the recent World’s Exposition in Paris , 1889, in competition with thelargest and most extensive manufacturers of wood-working machinery in Europe ,t be j. a. Fay & Co. machines were universally conceded to be, in workmanship,improvements, and labor-saving qualities, far in advance of all others, and under
the
Very severe comparative and competitive tests made by the International
Jurors of Awards they were in every trial victorious, and were unanimouslyawarded the grand prxx for superiority and excellence. And, as a furthermark of favor, the Decoration of the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor was con-ferred upon our President, Mr. W. H. Doane, by the Government of France, adistinction rarely bestowed upon Americans .
Appreciating fully all the high honors awarded us in the past, and withincreased facilities, new patterns, tools, and complete system in our works, andV^Rh a vigilant watcheare to the details of business, we trust, in the future as
m the
t iruied
Past, to increase the reputation of our machinery and to merit the con-
good-will and patronage of our friends both at home and abroad.
