sos K STREET BETWEEN FIFTH AND SIXTH.
This house recently started and now
being managed by old and experienced
liquor merchants, may justly claim to be
the real pioneer in the business in Sacra-
mento The present firm is composed of
several members of old liquor firms and is
made up by the partnership of R. w.
Wilcox and A. H. Powers. The firm
springs from four older ones. r. w. Will
COX was an extensive importer of liquors
in Sacramento as early as 1851, and has
been in the business, directly or indirectly,
ever since. In 1868 the house of L. Pow
ers & Co. commenced business, and in four
years after r. w. Wilcox became part
ner and SO remained until Mr.. Powers
death, when he became one of the firm of
Wilcox. Felter & Co., remaining as such
for three years, until the house was dis
solved by mutual consent. a. II. Powers

and came from the mountains in
1864, associating himself with his
brother, l.. Powers, as general sales
man, where he remained until the White
Pine excitement, when he associated him
self with the firm of L. Powers & Co. and
A. G. Gordon, under the firm name of A.
G.. Gordon & Co., to conduct a wholesale
business at Hamilton, New, where he built
fine fire. proof store. Subsequently Mr..
Powers sold out his interest and came to
this city and associated himself with Mr..
Henderson, under the firm name of Powers
s. Henderson-business being carried on at
the store-room now under notice. They
carried on business over ten years, when
the firm was dissolved and Mr.. Powers as
ISOLATED himself with r. W. Wilcox, under
the firm name Of Wilcox, Powers & Co., as
successors of Powers & Henderson, with
Spruance, Stanley & Co. as partners. This
makes the house one of pioneer origin, and
one of the most solid in the city. Since
the new firm commenced business the COM
bination has proved a great success, not
only from advantages given it by this mar
ket and its advantages in buying but by
the long experience and acquaintanceship
of the members of the firm. The house
deals in all the lines of wines and liquors
known to the best trade, and sells at level
rates with the best competitive market.

EBNER BROS, WHOLESALE LIQUOR DEALERS,
1909 AND l0ll FOURTH STREET, BETWEEN
j AND X.
This Wine and liquor house was estab-
lished in 1868. 1t occupies two floors
30x60 feet and two floors 30x50 feet in area.
1t imports all its goods direct and gives
especial attention to fine French wines and
brandies, and American WHISTLES of all the
best brands. The Ebners have had wide
experience in the business, and there is
probably no firm in the city better qualified
for its conduct than this one. They have
an immense stock In store, are exclusively
wholesalers, and fill orders for large area
of interior California with promptness and
dispatch. Their French and German goods
come direct from the producers. Their
business extends as far eastward as Utah,
north into Montana, throughout the Sierra
regions, and south to Arizona. There
was a general timidity regarding sales
on time by liquor houses during the
past year, but confidence is largely restored,
and this house, we learn, is able at will to
push the limits of its business far beyond
former boundaries.
wE1NR1cH AND BARTELs-w1NEs AND L1Q-
UoRs.
This house is located at 5l2 street,
and can offer to the trade all the adj
vantages accruing from direct importation.
Their speciality is the celebrated evil
low Run" WHISTLES of Kentucky. So
large is the patronage of this house that
they are enabled to keep a cargo afioat all
the time. Buying directly from the man
ufacturers and producers, they know ex-
actly what they are getting, and give their
customers the advantage of the fact. They
keep constantly on hand full line of
French goods, including choice wines,
brandies and other liquors. The fact that
they purchase their stock directly from
manufacturers, together with the advan-
tages of climate, centrality, storage and
freighting facilities which Sacramento en-
joys, enables this firm to ship from
Sacramento at an average of 5 per cent.
less than the best prices afforded in the
Bay market. All OF these advantages in
ure to the benefit of the purchaser. They
keep an immense stock always on hand,
and can fill any order without delay, and
generally on the very day of receipt of
orders.
EMIL BUCKow, JoBBING, WINE AND LIQUOR
MERCHANT. 725 X STREET.
This house is the successor of Claus
senius & Co. 1t makes the claim-defy-
ing contradiction-tha it is the only lia-
uor house in the city which does not rec
tify using spirits in counterfeiting liquors.
Mr.. Buckow imports direct, and keeps
constantly in stock the best wines of all
the various brands, and the most superior
WHISTLES, brandies, gin and other liquors
to be had. lie has from the outset made it
a special point to keep the best of goods,
and thus build up a reputation which
should more become a guarantee through
out interior California for the purity of
the goods supplied. Mr. Buckow has &C.
complished his object, and his house to-
day stands prominent in the State for its
brands. The house is doing a large bust
ness and the area of its trade is constantly
extending. 1t enjoys especially the adj
vantages of ease of shipment, rapidity in
filling orders, lowness OF expenses, etc,
and these it extends to its customers, who
are thus enabled to secure its goods with
out the burdens of delay, heavy fixed
capital, dockase, etc.
