COLUMBIA BEING THE LARGEST
" interior town OF the State, We see no
reason why business should not be trans
acted in manner commensurate with
its size and Importance, or why all class
es of Merchandise cannot be afforded at
rates that will prevent purchasers being
reminded of '49, thereby Strengthening
the impression that San Francisco is the
" only' locality where goods can be
obtained at reasonable advance upon
importation cost,-which is doubtless an
error, as after the first bait is taken.
Should an up-country buyer be found
ignorant of that market, the 'TA H
IFF" is introduced in peculiar, but
profitable style so that, with road and
river expenses, an occasional lunch in
the Bay City, and transportation Of pur-
chases home, the prices range higher
than what we Can and /" WILL "sup-
ply the goods for here. Our facilities
warrant us n speaking thus frankly
A Partner resides at the Bay, and has
only himself to blame, if not posted on
prices in San Francisco, and the wants
of Columbia. A Partner here, sells at
rates that will surprise all SAo may
chance to inquire
TRADERS, HorEL-KEEPERs s. MINERS,
here, and in the adjacent Camps, can be
accommodated with ak descriptions Of
of Merchandise, in any quantities, at
regular San Francisco prices, freight
and commission added; always have
their goods marramted to be of the very
first quality, and delivered in good or
DEF, free of charge.
This place enjoys the deserved repu-
tation of having good society. Families
are being attracted hither, to locate per-
manently, and must be supplied with
the necessaries and Injuries of life
We are prepared to meet any emergen-
cy, arising from sudden influx of pop
ulation, or brisk demand, occasioned by
bad roads, during the winter, = and
would say to all, call upon us and be
