THE FOUNTAIN HEAD
was first established on Jackson street, and
destroyed by fire in September, 1850, re-
opened in Clay street, the same month,
then again consumed by the same devastat-
ing element on the memorable 4th of May,
1851, and was again opened where it now
stands, in July following, and was the first
public refreshment saloon ever started up
on the coast of the Pacific, without intoxi-
eating liquors, not even lass of beer has
ever been sold upon the premises, neither
shall be. My friends advised me to intro
duce the sale of liquors into my business,
as they thought it would add much to my
profits; my reply was, have hands to la
Dor and produce what sustains life, but not
to deal out that which will destroy it.
The Fountain Head, as usual, is open
from six o'clock in the morning, till II
o'clock at night; so that gentlemen who
are unable to obtain seats at regular meal
hours, may get refreshments between times
when the crowd is not so great.
