product law prohibiting public institutions from advertising for any specific brand of any patent article or apparatus is evidently misunderstood in the east the custom heretofore adopted of advertising for any specific brand of manufactured article discriminated against all others of the same character and as a consequence eastern as well as california products of the same character were practically excluded the present law in no way contemplates the exclusion of eastern competition it simply provides that quality and price being equal preference must be given to california manufactured articles it if it is shown that the price being equal but the eastern product is of superior quality that product will be awarded the contrast it was not intention the of the california legislature to erect a barrier against eastern manufacturers but simply as far as possible to protect them as well as california products I 1 angels camp cal nov 4 joseph polar a miner was
