John Maene of Philadelphia, designer for Pennsylvania Bronze Co., says mercurial fixtures would cost far more and many fixtures were too heavy. Representatives of Strawbridge & Clothier testified they bid by items rather than as a whole and knew nothing of a per foot rule. It was disclosed Sanderson was paid 137600 for electric fixture models not in the official schedule.
