This recital served as an introduction to the unveiling of an allegorical tableau executed by _Maar_ of Nürnberg representing partly the activity of the Factory, and mercantile enterprise, and partly an appropriate allusion to the Jubilee festival. Then a short address followed by the presentation of a congratulatory testimonial to _L.
