of tables, chairs &c, Gas well as my system

to the Fountain Head, (and been SO often
taken in, that with a little more attention
they can avoid the like occurrence for the
future, by just noticing the numbers on
the candy windows, Al, 40, and IS and 80,
on the doors.
The FOUNTAIN HEAD was first estab-
llshed on jackson street, and destroyed
by fire in September 1850, reopened in
Clay street, the same month, then again
consumed by the same devastating ele-
ment on the memorable 4th of May, 1851,
and was again opened where it now
stands, in June following, and was the first
public refreshment saloon ever started
upon the coast of the Pacific, without in
toxicating liquors, not even glass ofbeer
has ever been sold upon the premises,
neither shall be. My friends advised me
to introduce the sale of liquors into my
business, as they thought it would add
much to my profits; my reply was, have
hands to labor and produce what will sus
tain life, but not to deal ont that which
will destroy it.. The Fountain Head, as
usual, is open from 6o'clock in the morn
ing, till 12 O'Clock at night; so that gen
tlemen who are unable to obtain seats at
regular meal hours, may get refreshments
between times, when the crowd is not so
