FOUNTAIN HEAD

AND REFREsHMENT SALOON, Long hart,
between Snnsome and Battery streets.
| will just say to my patrons for their
especial benefit, some of whom have been
frequently decoyed by the near limitations
of tables, chairs Sc, (as well as my system
of tickets,) by a house in close proximity
to the Fountain Head, (and been so often
taken IND that with little more attention
they can avoid the like occurrence for the
future, by just noticing the numbers on
the candy windows, Al, 49, and 7S and 80,
on the doors.
The FOUNTAIN HEAD was first estab-
lIshed on jackson street, and destroyed
by fire in September 1850, reOpened in
Clay street, the same mouth, then again
consumed 10y the same devastating ele-
ment on the memorable 4th Of May, 1851, i,
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 so d upon the premises,
neither shall be. My friends advised me
to introduce the sale of liquors. into my
business, rs 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, RS
usual, is open from 6 O'Clock in the morn
ing, till IL O'Clock at night; SO that gen.
tlemen who are unabe to obtain seats at
regular meal hours, may get refreS hments
between times, when the crowd is not so
