HOUGHTON, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL BOOKSELLERS, STATIONERS AND BLANK BOOK MANUFACTURERS. It is a pleasure to visit this enterprising and substantial firm in their new and elegant quarters, street, between Sixth and Seventh. That peculiar interest pertaining to a book store at all times is here greatly enhanced by the magnitude of their stock, and the hearty welcome extended to all by the proprietors. As importers and wholesale dealers they rank with the first in the State, and are the largest in the interior of California. The growth of their wholesale department is astonishing, but not more so than the enormous quantity of staple goods which they carry to meet the demands of their trade.

The firm imports from Eastern and European manufacturers and publishers, and with the business advantages that this city offers, and the connections which they have established for themselves, both in the East and abroad, they find no trouble in competing with any house on the Pacific slope. Their business is increasing day by day, and not only do the booksellers and stationers of California, but also those of Nevada, Oregon and Montana, find it greatly to their advantage to secure supplies of them. The saving in time, freights, case and cartage in the course of a year, aggregates such a large sum in favor of those who purchase of them, that the trade which once comes to them never departs. Dealers from this section of the Pacific slope have discovered that when it becomes necessary to select in person their stock, they can remain in this city two or three days at about half the cost of a visit to San Francisco, and can do more in purchasing half the time. As retailers their shelves and counters are well supplied with desirable works of science and fiction, and the largest and most attractive display of fine Russian memorandum pocket-books and fancy goods that has yet been placed in this market.

Their stock of staple and fancy stationery is a marvel of beauty, the designs in this line seeming to be endless. Their display of Mabie 'Todd gold pens, for which they are agents, is very large, and their Brown letter file and binder, for which they are Pacific coast agents, is most complete and satisfactory. Their school library trade is quite ex' tensive, and it is noticeable that now very many of the country schools are accumulating large libraries of standard books. This firm has earned for themselves a well-deserved reputation for enterprise and fair dealing. M.

R. BEARD AND 312 STREET. Mr. Beard, an old resident of Sacramento, and a young man of energy and enterprise, has just at the close of the past year opened stationery establishment and news depot at the above location, which presents an unusual business-like and attractive appearance. He keeps all lines of stationery, school books, Russia leather pocket goods, memorandas, blank books, latest publications, in stock and quantity sufficient to meet all demands, and at very low rates.

S. MORRIS, STATIONER, 466 STREET, Keeps all the popular magazines, periodicals and a other publications of the day, together with a complete stock of standard school-books, a general assortment of Yankee notions, etc. He imports direct and can supply the interior trade in the line of stationery, writing materials, gift books, albums and holiday goods generally as low as any jobbing house in the State. Mr. Morris recognizes the fact that a growing wholesale trade characterizes the business of Sacramento, and he is prepared to do his share of it.

ALEXANDER MACEWEN, 610 STREET. Mr. MacEwen has a large establishment and stock of stationery, school cutlery and show -case articles, with, also, a large supply and variety, of establishment fancy and childrens' goods. The is admirably located, and enjoys an extensive custom. He is also general and sole agent for the Pacific coast of the metric or international decimal system of weights and measures, and keeps a full stock of apparatus and supplies, including druggists' and chemists' weights and graduates.

SPORTSMEN'S GOODS. HUNTINGTON, HOPKINS AND CO. -SPORTS- MEN'S GOODS. cutlery; house, gas, steam and carriage fittings; tools; ship chandlery; woodenware; agricultural tools; cordage, The house of Huntington, Hopkins noticed in other parts of this review, deals extensively in sportsmen's goods and supplies, such as firearms of all kinds and grades, rifles, shotguns, pistols, flasks, fixed ammunition, powder, shot, lead, caps, wads, and all kinds of hunter's materials and supplies. Also, tishing tackle in variety, twine, hooks, and all staple articles and supplies used by fishermen.

Also, gunsmith's tools, and articles of every description used by the trade. This firm also deals heavily in powder for sportsmen, blasting, and is agent for the Oriental Powder Mills of Boston and the Hazard Powder Company of New York. For the storage of powder the house has erected a capacious magazine near the city limits. A. FLOHR, GUNSMITH, 1,024 SIXTH STREET, BETWEEN AND Keeps on hand constantly a large stock of guns, pistols, ammunition, sportsmen's supplies and hunters' outfits.

His stock comprises all the most approved patterns of rifles, breech and muzzle-loading shotguns and pistols of all varieties. He is an accomplished workman, and manufactures largely. Mr. Flohr does a large jobbing business, and never fails to give satisfaction. He 1 rebores old guns and makes them as good as new, and does repairing.

HENRY ECKHARDT, GUNSMITH, And dealer in guns and ammunition, street, between Fifth and Sixth, calls the attention of the sportsmen of Sacramento and the interior to the magnificent assortment of sportsmen's goods to be found in his establishment. There is no house of the kind in the interior, and but one or two in San Francisco, where 80 complete and varied a stock of guns, pistols, fishing tackle, ammunition and sportsmen's goods generally, can be found to select from -all imported direct. BREWERS, PACIFIC BREWERY, F. C. KNAVER, PROPRIETOR.

This brewery occupies a three-story brick building, covering an area of ground 80x160 feet. The product of this establishment has a reputation throughout the State calling for large manufacture facilities. This brewery does no bottling but sells exclusively by the kegs or barrels. It purchases brewing barley in large quantities, and the establishment is one of the neatest and best operated on the coast, and Mr. Knauer's experience in beer-making is probably not surpassed by that of any other brewer in the State.

He competes with any market, fills orders to any point and makes no charge for drayage. His factory is one of the chief purchasers of hops in the city, but it does not confine itself to the local product but aims to secure the best to be had, both of barley and hops. There are few parts of the State which turn out as good a quality of malt liquors as Sacramento, and that of Mr. Knauer stands high on the list. SACRAMENTO BREWERY, TWENTY EIGHTH AND STREETS- -PHILIP SCHELD, PROPRIETOR.

Mr. Scheld's establishment began business in 1850, continued it ever since and without interruption. He ships throughout a large arena of country and manufactures a popular approved qual- therefore largely resorted to by families. Its table is amply spread, promptly served, and the food is of the best the market affords. While the rates at the Tremont are low it has nothing of the merely cheap in its management.

It is fitted with a mammoth filter, from which every part of the hotel is supplied with clarified water. WESTERN HOTEL. ONE OF THE HANDSOMEST AND LETEST OF HOTELS. A NOTABLE, ECONOMIC AND WELL CONDUCTED HOSTLERY. The Western Hotel is located from 209 to 217 street.

Without any exaggeration whatever, this is the most ornamental hotel outside of San Francisco, and in decorative art its walls show to greater advantage than those of any hotel in the State, the frescoing being surpassed only in a few private residences in San Francisco. The new building was frescoed admirably at its erection, still the taste and unstinted enterprise of William Land, the proprietor and sole manager of the Western, led to a refrescoing of a large portion of the building very recently, the work being done in a style more elaborate still, and being extended to all the leading rooms- -indeed, nearly every room in the large establishment. The entire work of frescoing cost Mr. Land nearly $20,000, from which figures some idea can be gained of the interior. The frescoing in the dining- with still work upon the panels, i is exceedingly handsome, and makes this chamber, which accommodates 240 at a sitting, a real gallery of art.

Even the saloon and barber-shop and the bathing department in a greater or less degree are representative of modern decorative art. The hotel has a frontage of 121 feet, and extends back 160 feet to the alley. It has three stories street and four stories upon the upon alley, and has 200 rooms. Its halls are broad and spacious, its parlors large, and all of its public rooms commodious. From top to bottom the house is furnished in black walnut of chaste pattern the floors are carpeted with Brussels throughout the gas fittings are of the best designs, and all the ornamental parts are representative of advanced art.

It is the only hotel in the interior of California with an elevator. The house was erected in 1875 upon the ruins of the old Western Hotel, which was destroyed by fire. It has an ornamental front, and, architecturally, is a great addition to the street. Although the hotel is thus fitted up and ornamented, it bids almost wholly for the patronage of men of limited means, and accommodates more of that class of the boarding and transient public than any other hotel in the State outside of San Francisco, the terms being from one to two dollars per day for board and lodging. The yard is laid in cement, and the premises has the best drainage of any in the city.

The storehouse of the hotel, built solid with cement, is not equaled by that of any establishment on the coast, and is a model of excellence. The hotel is conducted upon a rigid, but perfectly easy-working system. The annunciator of the hotel is worked by electricity, and connected with every department of the building. The employes of the hotel, from cellar to roof, are organized into a fire brigade. Electrical fire-alarms connects every hall and floor with the office.

Upon an alarm of fire being sounded, a button is pressed and every employe within the building is instantly notified to fall into line under proper captains in each department, and, provided with hose, fire buckets and all the necessary appliances of a house fire brigade. For a hotel, addressed to the patronage that this is, it has equal on the Pacific slope, and it probably would be no exaggeration to say that no similar hotel system is to be found in the Union. STATE HOUSE, H. ELDRED, PROPRIETOR, TENTH AND STREETS. A LEADING FAMILY HOTEL--UNSURPASSED FOR ECONOMY COMFORT.

HOTEL, The State House is one of the oldestestablished hotels of the interior. It is a family hotel -especially the headquarters of agriculturists. It has recently been entirely rearranged and put in first-class order. It has a capacity for comfortably accommodating 140 guests. The house is neatly and comfortably furnished, and the table fully supplied with the best the market affords.

The prices are very reasonable, and the attendance all that can be desired. CRESCENT CITY HOTEL-621 AND 623 STREET, BET. SIXTH AND SEVENTH. This hotel is now under proprietorship of J. E.

Dixon, who has refitted it throughout and standard. brought it up to a decidedly higher Its table is now a great per cent. better than ever before, and inviting to any one. The house ranks as a family boarding-house, and is a favorite house for men of moderate means. It gives board for $4 per week, and rooms from 25 cents to $1.

The hotel as now conducted is inviting, neat and in all respects desirable to travelers. LANSING'S INTERNATIONAL. James Lansing is known throughout interior California. He is a pioneer Californian, an old agriculturist, an experienced business man, has filled many offices, and now has entered upon the business of catering to the public as a landlord. He has taken the International Hotel, street, between Third and Fourth, and is keeping it as a quiet, well appointed, economic and thoroughly correct hotel.

The house he has refitted from top to bottom, and fur. nished it anew. It has 140 rooms, which are all in first class order. It is an airy, sunny, roomy house, convenient, admirably ventilated, has superior drainage, and is in all respects a desirable hostelry. The table is spread with taste and plenitude, and is that a of marked feature for its superiority over rival hotels of the same class.

rates are $5 per week for board rooms The 50 cents to $1 50 per day and day rates for travelers from $1 to $1 '50, and 82 per day. For families the hotel offers superior accommodations. HATTERS. Hats Caps Furs General Headwear. DRY D.

H. QUINN, HATTER, FOURTH AND STREETS, Has the largest and finest hat store, and the establishment of Mr. Quinn rivals any other to be found in the interior of California. He carries on a wholesale and retail business, imports his own stock, manufactures it here, and claims that he can sell at fifteen per cent. less than any house in San Francisco, because of the saving of freight charges and the centrality and econof omy home of location.

In addition to his goods manufacture he keeps a full line of the latest styles of men's boys' and youths' Eastern-made hats and caps, which an enables experience of upwards of twenty years him to select with a view to the requirements of this market. He is also an extensive dealer in choice furs, of which he keeps a full and varied stock. In this line, as well as others, he competes with rival markets and sells the same artieles at a large discount on the prices which govern elsewhere. During 1879 he has found the trade to have more fully recog- nized his claims, and the business has grown gratifyingly, especially in the orders from abroad. J.

F. SLATER, HATTER, 409 STREET, BETWEEN FOURTH AND FIFTH. John F. Slater, the well-known manufacturing, importing, retail and jobbing hatter, extends to his patrons throughout the area of the Sacramento market the complimente of the season. Acknowledging liberal patronage the past year, his plans and parchases for coming season insure more extended and fuller resources for supplying, and greater facilities to make it of interest to all to patronize him.

THE SEVENTH DEPARTMENT IN THE MECHANICS' STORE Is the branch of the establishment devoted to the hat trade. It embraces full lines of men's, youths', boys' and children's hats and caps, including all the newest styles as soon as put upon the market, and in endless variety. Any article or package of articles forwarded in respor se to order, and selection is made with as much exactness and care in judgment as if the purchaser stood beside the salesman. clothing; dry goods; Yankee notions; methods of business; millinery; boots and shocs, BANKS. NATIONAL GOLD BANK OF D.

0. MILLS AND COMPANY. The history of Sacramento-indeed, of California itself would be far from complete without a sketch of this well-known and solid banking-house. It was widely known as the bank of D. O.

Mills Co. in the palmy days of 1850, and through all the vicissitudes incident to business on this coast, it has never yet closed its doors in banking hours on any business day. Its capital stock is $300,000, and its business extends over the central and northern parts of the State, Nevada, Oregon and the Territories. Its transactions with Eastern banks show that our merchants have become direct importers on a large scale since the completion of the railroad. The annual report of the bank for the year 1879, recently published, shows: RESOURCES.

CONFECTIONERS. Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Confections. HENRY FISHER, AND RETAIL CONFECTIONER, STREET. WHOLESALE, Mr. Fisher is one of the largest wholesale manufacturing confectioners in the State of California.

He occupies three floors 160 feet deep, and employs a very large number of skilled workmen. A trip through his establishment is at once a pleasure and instructive. Cleanness reigns throughout, and those- who enjoy confections will have their tastes quickened by witnessing the methods employed in the manufactory. Mr. Fisher established himself in this city in 1865 in the manufacturing and wholesale confectionery business, since which time the history of the house has been one marked with success.

Mr. Fisher owns the real estate and building where his business is conducted, and hav. ing no rent to pay is prepared to offer inducements as great as that of any house on the coast. At considerable outlay he has introduced the latest improvements in chinery for the manufacture of fancy candies, and is constantly increasing his facilities. He employs about twenty persons the year round.

His goods are admitted to be of rare purity, and in the line of foreign and domestic nuts, his trade is rapidly increasing. Another feature is the rare beauty and flavor of the cakes prepared for weddings, receptions, etc. His ice-cream is greatly sought by the public, while the restaurant department, the cuisine of which is faultless, commands a large patronage. There is scarcely an article of decorative novelty or fine workmanship of foreign or home design in the confectionery line but it is to be found at this establishment, and the windows and cases are always a source of delight to the eye. By strict integrity and close attention to the wants of this market, Mr.

Fisher has succeeded in building an exup tensive wholesale business with interior merchants, and he is at all times prepared to supply them with the choicest articles in his line on the shortest possible notice. During the present holiday season no store in the city has presented a more attractive appearance than that of Henry Fisher. W. F. PETERSON, CONFECTIONER, BETWEEN SIXTH AND SEVENTH STREETS.

Mr. Peterson's is one of the largest manufacturing confectionery establishments of the State. He is building up a very large wholesale business and shipping goods to all parts of the State. His annual displays at the State Fair have received universal commendation. He employs the best workmen, and places the results of his industry side by side with the artistic importations from France.

WARREN STARR, 428 STREET. Mr. Starr is a manufacturer of homemade candies. He does not import, but makes every article of his confection at his own establishment. He makes to order does a cash business; is a practical workman, and invites attention of interior trade candies, to for his which unadulterated he claims pure great home superiority in quality, and which he sells at lowest rates, WEIDMANN AND HROMADA CONFECTIONERS, STREET, BETWEEN FOURTH AND FIFTH.

Fifteen years of successful business in this city has placed this establishment in a leading position in the manufacture and sale of all kinds of goods in its line. It imports its own stock on a par with any San Francisco confectioners, and manufactures with equal skill all classes of goods known to the business. In imported candies and confections the house keeps a full stock constantly freshened by weekly arrivals. It manufactures all kinds of French candies and bon-bons. It employs no agents or solicitors, but gives to its purchasers the benefit of the traveling expenses and salaries which might be expended that way, and which the firm estimates would amount to from 7 to 10 per cent.

of their sales. This house is the only manufacturer of the celebrated Sugar of Lemon," with which it supplies all the chief wholesale houses of the city, and in turn, the trade of the State. Its job. bing business engages the attention of the firm almost exclusively, though it has a large and profitable retail trade. It ships goods as far north as Oregon, to the entire transmontane region, and as far south as San Diego.

It has been found by the firm that confections prepared in this warm climate and packed in boxes made here, thoroughly seasoned, and are more acceptable in the southern valleys, where the climate is of like character, than those prepared in a humid atmosphere, and packed in boxes made of the -seasoned lumber of other places. The firm has made a special feature of competition with the San Francisco market, and the area of its trade is an evidence of its success in that respect. The firm manufactures as fine goods here as can be produced anywhere. Its skill, added to the same advantages that the Sacramento Market affords to merchants generally, gives the firm peculiar facilities for an extensive and profitable jobbing trade. One feature of their business is the preparation packages of confections the "highest quality, suitable for gifts, for parties, and those generally who desire to purchase in small amounts.

steadily increasing trade of this establishment is the result of superior goods and fair dealing. CLOTHING. Men's and Boys' Clothing--Merchant Tailors. S. J.

NATHAN AND WHOLESALE AND RETAIL CLOTHIERS. This house is located at the of Third and streets, and has been' existcorper. ence for 22 years. Mr. S.

J. Nathan, the founder of the house, has taken up his residence in New York for the purpose of superintending the manufacturing for the California house. He has formed a copartnership there under the firm name of Nathan, Pulverman Co. S. J.

Nathan Co. have a business connection also in San Francisco, under the same title as that in New York. The "Company" of the firm in Sacramento is Mr. L. Phillips.

Clothing is a large item in every man's expense, and each man is desirous of purchasing to the best advantage. The under notice has elevated the standard of of faultless made clothing, producing garments shape and perfect finish. These are furnished at about half the price as when made to measure. The Eastern connections of the house enable it to sell at lower prices, and their manufacturing interests enable them to produce about fifteen per cent. cheaper than those who buy from manufacturers.

They keep a complete line of underwear, neck wear, gloves and hosiery for men, youths and boys. They make a specialty of silk handkerchiefs, umbrellas, trunks, valises, satchels and traveling outfits. The store is one of the most spacious on the coast. During the year there has been added to the establishment 20 feet of frontage upon the east, giving it a floor room of 60 by 80 feet. In this new department hats and caps are made a specialty -being imported direct from Eastern hands, and kept in quantity to supply the interior trade.

The house purchases from first hands of the best estableshments in the East, and probably keeps the largest assortment in its lines of any house on the coast exclusively engaged in the clothing and furnishing business. The firm, doing, perhaps, the largest clothing business coast, is, by the advantages afforded the house in Sacramento, enabled to carry it on with less fixed capital than is possible in any other locality. These advantages have already been so repeatedly referred to, and are so well a known, that reference to them in this connection would be superfluous. The house is one of the leading establishments of Sacramento. CAPITAL WOOLEN MILLS--J STREET, BETWEEN EIGHTH AND NINTH STREETS.

This establishment removed its salesrooms some three years since from the factory to their present location, for the purpose of bringing its goods into more direct notice and contact with the dealers of the northern and interior trade. The succes3 from this trade gave them an increase in their trade of about 400 per cent. for the year 1878, and which has been followed by a satisfactory increase during the year just closed. The secret of this success lies in the method utilizing stock. The company make their flannels and cassimeres the best material, and all goods not sold in the piece are cut into overshirts, underwear and clothing, which find ready During the year 1879 they brought forward entirely new patterns of cassimere, and also engaged largely in the manfacture of children's clothing.

Connected with the salesrooms is a large tailoring establishment, having at its head one of the oldest and most popular tailors. In this department nearly the entire production of the mills in fancy cassimeres is consumed. In the manufacture of clothing they employ nearly fifty hands, and almost as many more at the mill, making this one of the most prominent enterprises of the city. ADDRESSED TO MEN, In that vast establishment, the Mechanics' Store, the third department contains men's furnishing goods, including hosiery, handkerchiefs, jewelry, neckties, collars, cuffs, gloves and hand wear of all descriptions, all classes of shirts, umbrellas, bags, trunks, valises, etc. The fourth department is the men's clothing department, and includes all kinds of cotton, woolen, silk mixed and rubber clothing, and every possible garment worn by men and kept even with the best styles.

Any of these goods are forwarded to any section in large or small quantities, or by the single article. The absent buyer is treated in exactly the same spirit of fairness as if he or she stood at the counter. methods of business; dry goods; yankee notions; millinery fancy goods; boots and shoes; hats and S. S. NATHAN, CLOTHIER, 49 STREET.

This gentleman's place of business adjoins the Western Hotel entrance on street, between Second and Third, where he has succeeded, by fair dealing and a close attention to the wants af this market, in building up a fine local and interior trade. He does a large business in gentlemen's clothing of all kinds, underwear, furnishing goods, trunks, valises, and as he imports his stock direct from the best of Eastern manufacturers, with whom he deals offer unusually good terms to the local trade to on a strictly cash basis, he is also enabled and interior dealers. He does not require country merchants to purchase of him large lots in order to secure the advantages of jobbing rates, but supplies them in small lots, when desired, at prices as low as the lowest. This is a matter of no small concern to dealers of moderate capital, and, as a consequence, Mr. Nathan is daily adding to his list new customers of this character.

All the latest and most approved styles in BUSINESS REVIEW. CONTINUED FROM PAGE BOOTS AND SHOES. Wholesale and Retail Dealers. DRY -JAMES PARSONS, BOOTS AND SHOES, 603 STREET. James Parsons has one of the finest establishments in the interior of the State, and one which does credit to the city of Sacramento.

Mr. Parsons is his own importer, getting his stock direct from the East and Europe. His purchases are invariably for cash, and he is thus enabled to get "the ten per cent, a fact which permits him to sell at lower rates than any other competing market. His stock comprises full lines of men's, youths', ladies' and children's wear. This house has a manufacturing department, in which none but workmen of first-class ability are employed.

This gives his custom-work an enviable reputation. He also does a jobbing trade, which, on account of the character of his goods and the low rates at which sold, is rapidly increasing. advantages enjoyed by Sacramento enables him' to carry on a successful business with a small fixed capital, and to extend these advantages to those who deal with him. GUS. LAVENSON, BOOTS AND SHOES, SIXTH AND STREETS.

Mr. Lavenson has a large establishment, which is elegantly fitted up for the convenience of his patrons. This is another of Sacramento's business houses that, by importing its stock, is enabled to give purchasers a large advantage in the way of prices, at the same time insuring them the very best materials. Mr. Lavenson undertakes to undersell San Francisco houses in his line of business by quantity or retail.

The location of Sacramento gives him an advantage fully realized in the interior, while his system of buying direct from the factories enables him to give his purchasers the benefit of low rates and good goods. He keeps constantly on hand an unlimited stock of ladies', misses', men's, youths' and children's wear in all lines. The attention of interior merchants is especially called to the advantages which Mr. Lavenson is prepared to offer them in the jobbing trade, while retail purchasers will find anything they want in his establishment. THE NINTH.

Of the twelve departments of that vast establishment, the Mechanics' Store, ore is devoted exclusively to boots and shoes. It includes very full lines of men's, youths' and boys' boots and shoes, infants', misses' and ladies' shoes, slippers, ties, and full lines of rubber foot wear. There is no serviceable and novel article in this line which the department cannot supply. Country orders receive as much attention as if the buyer were present. dry geods; hats and caps; boots and shoes millinery Yankee notion; clothing; methods of J.

KAERTH, BOOTS AND SHOES, 425 STREET This is one of oldest boot and shoe establishments in the city. The business is carried on upon a strictly correct and economical basis and has become an important one, which has largely increased during the past year. Mr. Kaerth imports direct and also manufactures to order, and claims to sell at prices lower than the lowest. His arrangements with Eastern manufacturers are such that he can have his orders filled in as small a quantity as he desires and at very lowest rates, thus enabling him to keep a constant and fresh supply of all qualities and latest styles.

These advantages need not be commented on, they are well understood. A. WASSMAN, BOOTS AND SHOES, STREET. Mr. Wassman manufactures on a large scale men's, boys' and ladies' footwear, in the line of fine boots and shoes.

keeps constantly employed from seven to nine hands, according to season, and competes with any rival market. He buys his own stock manufactures to order and for the trade. Under its old proprietorship this manufacturing establishment turned out large lots of custom-made boots and shoes, and under Mr. Wassman's prietorship it has surpassed the old standard. HAY, FEED AND GRAIN.

C. E. ADAMS-HAY, GRAIN AND FEED. At 727 street is the establishment of Mr. Adams.

He is a large buyer and seller of grain, hay and feed, enabling producers to sell their products in a market where they can also buy necessaries. Three years ago Adams began in a small way now his business is a large and growing one. He gives undivided attention to it. Hay, barley, wheat, oats and general stock feed a' he keeps constantly on hand and can ship to any point on a level with the lowest current rates. STATIONERS.

Books -Paper- Printing- Books, Etc. H. S. CROCKER AND STATIONERS AND PRINTERS, 208 AND 210 STREET. Among the leading houses which have kept pace with the growing trade of Sacramento, the stationery and printing-house of H.

S. Crocker Co. will take front rank. Their building, located between Second and Third streets, has a frontage of 40 feet, with a depth of 160 feet. It is a two-story and basement, and every inch of available space is crowded with stationery of every description and an endless variety of printers' supplies.

The front is one of the handsomest in the city, having two very large plate-glass show-windows and two double doors. Employing salesmen of taste, their windows are always handsomely dressed and attract much attention from passers-by. The first floor is devoted to stationery, and the shelving is crammed with blankbooks, school-books, school supplies, envelopes, writing papers, papeteries, stationers' hardware and tinware, gold pens, fancy goods in ivory, Russia, morocco, sealskin, and other choice materials, etc. The second story is devoted to printing, and sample tables for their wholesale trade. In the basement are kept the heavy goods--such as wrapping paper, newspaper, paper bags, inks and mucilage.

They carry an immense stock of newspaper of every grade and size, from which all the leading printing offices central and northern California and Nevada draw their supplies, amounting last year to upwards of four car loads per month. They are agents for many superior articles, and import largely from manufacturers, thus avoiding middlemen's percentage, and enabling them to give buyers the lowest rates. Their blank books unrivaled for excellence in material and finish, and are manufactured for them from the justly celebrated ledger papers of the L. L. Brown Manufacturing Company.

Their writing papers are also manufactured expressly for them, and the Chelmsford 99 and Royal brands of note, letter, legal and other papers are noted far and wide for their sterling qualities. In their printing department they stand far ahead of any house on this coast outside of San Francisco, and their facilities are EQUAL to those of any house in that city.

Mr. Scheld's advantages for the manufacture of beer and shipping it throughout California are unsurpassed of any competitor in business, and enable him to offer better inducements to the trade than can be given by any other market center. During the year 1879 his business has most flatteringly increased, and the outlook for the year now commencing is exceedingly gratifying, and the prospects are for largely increased sales.

Its bar and reading-rooms are upon the street level, and are the resort of prominent men on all occasions of popular gatherings in the city.

He occupies Quatman's old stand, for a long time the most popular house of the kind in the city. Evidently to preserve the harmony of parts, the services of Mr. Quatman were secured, who is now head cutter, and who takes a pardonable pride in welcoming his old customers. The ultimate design of the proprietor is to manufacture ready-made clothing for the trade, but at present he makes only to order, in this branch of the business alone employing about twenty-five hands, being nearly onehalf of all the tailors now engaged in Sacramento. He also has branch stores at Auburn, Nevada City and Grass Valley.

R. KNIGHTS, DEALER IN HIDES, SHEEPSKINS, DEER AND GOAT SKINS, TALLOW, FRONT AND STREETS. Among the staple commodities of this growing State must be classed hides, sheepskins, deer skins, goat skins and tallow. The numerous towns of the States of California, Nevada and Oregon produce these articles in great abundance, especially the mountain districts, where large mining operations are carried on, and beef forms the chief element of food. The capacities of our Calitornia tanneries at present are only equal to about one-fourth of the supply of hides, the remainder finding their way to Eastern tanneries.

Most of the sheepskins, tallow, are used in California. These goods generally come to hand in small lots, and this necessitates the establishment of receiving houses, where they can be properly cured, graded and prepared for Eastern and California markets. One of the houses of the kind on this coast is that conducted by Wm. R. Knights.

This house, with its numerous agencies, does an immense business, and offers facilities to customers which cannot be surpassed. The house stands deservedly high among its numerous patrons, as its increasing business yearly attests. Prompt returns, saving of freight, are important items to butchers and dealers in the surrounding country, and are fully appreciated by all who trade with the house. The establishment under mention occupies a very large building at the corner of Front and streets. On the outskirts of the city it has a half block inclosed, on which are situated its curing houses.

The business of the establishment amounts to an enormous sum, with an astonishingly rapid and constant increase. One of the great advantages afforded by this market is that its centrality enables butchers to forward hides with the least loss of time, to ship them a day and ahead of their own start for the city, on their arrival meet their goods here and get their cash for them at once. The shipment from here East is at less cost than from San Francisco, and this enables the to buy at rates which advantage the house seller greatly, for he saves, if from northern or central California, Nevada the cost of freight from Sacramento to San or Oregon, Francisco, those two places being the chief points of the business. Mr. Knights has in the past year increased the business a large per cent.

in volume, and extended its area very greatly, ON PAGE 11.1 HIDES,.
