Davis, builder who specializes in wind mills; or take Washburn and Son who "has a perfectly safe and elegant fleet of little boats at the beach for rowing on lively Monterey bay." It being Saturday you'll probably need a bath by now.

He also advertised "caskets; plain and fancy coffins, and all kinds of trimmings." D. C.

It began: "When a man deliberately engages in a business which he knows is ruinous to the dearest interest of his fellow-men, he has taken a step in the direction of wrong-doing that leads to untold crime before the journey is ended." From here it really took off. There are altogether six saloon ads in this issue all seemingly to gloriously ignore the no-holds-barred attack.

On the "new" side there is another long, long article, borrowed "Lumber is on the ground to build a sidewalk on Walnut avenue along the F. A. Hihn property."
