Ninth and streets. 1t began business
here within a year. The members of the
firm are old business men and have had
much experience both in city and rural
trade Their mountaineering is large
throughout this section of the State,
and wherever known, they are fayorably
known. They keep in their store general
variety of supplies for city residents and
agriculturists alike, such as dry goods,
groceries, both farm and family supplies,
general merchandise, crockery, feed, boots
and shoes, farm produce, etc. 1t is the
only store OF this class in Sacramento. 1t
was not thought by our citizens that such
an establishment could be success here,
but a few months has proved conelusively
that it is complete success, and they are
commanding very large and important
trade, which is extending with remarkable
rapidity. The house occupies two floors
fronting on street as a dry goods estab-
lishment, and in the rear, fronting on
Ninth street, is the variety and grocery de-
partment, while the lower floor is given up
to storage, reception of produce and heavy
goods The firm imports all their dry
goods, boots and Shoes Although in bust
ness so brief time, the success of the sys
TEN has attracted attention abroad, and
the house is now sending goods into north
ern and central counties and over the
mountains extensively. The promise Is
that the New York Store will command a
trade this year which will be simply
phenomenal in its large volume and extent

! The more the people observe business
transactions, the more thoroughly are they
convinced that the cash system is the true
system for all parties The proprietors OF
the Peoples Store hold that house doing
cash business generally makes more
rapid and successful stride towards estab-
fishing fiourishing and paying trade than
the old time credit merchants who do no
business on that antiquated system. The
consumers of this State are now fully alive
to their interests they are gradually
abandoning those houses that sell on
credit, as the Peoples Store thus precisely
puts it. First, they can have no regular
prices, and they must charge good, hon
est, paying customer an extra profit to
make good the losses of those that do not
pay. Every person of the least thinking
capacity knows that in doing credit busl-
ness some pay their debts and great
many do not. Who then must the people
suppose makes good these losses? Ger
tainly extra profits are added, and conse-
quently the buyer pays more for his dry
goods, ETC., than any of his neighbors
who trade in house that sells Tor cash
only. The Peoples Store" does strictly
cash business 1t keeps no accounts; 1t
loses nothing because of bad debts; 1t
pays no interest on long standing accounts,
and is consequently not incumbered with
the clinging barnacles of interest debt and
bad accounts.
At the Peoples Store the price of every
article is clearly marked. That is the
very lowest figure. Accommodating clerks
are in attendance. Every sale is accom-
panied by an invoice stamped paid for flu
ture reference The stock embraces all
staple dry goods, cloaks, trimmings ladies
furnishing goods and every article found In
first-class establishment. Country orders
pour in by every mail and packages go off
at once. Selections to fill orders are
made either by sample or the judgment OF
salesman, and IN all cases every care is
taken to insure satisfaction. 1t is a source
of great qualification to the Peoples Store
| managers that the people in California,
| Arizona, Nevada and all the coast recognize
the integrity, taste and good Judgment with
which orders are filled
ROTHFELD BROS, IMPORTERS AND DEAL
ERs IN DRY GOODS, NEW YORK AND
| SACRAMENTO, SIXTH AND STREETS.
Among the many dry goods business in
Sacramento Rothfeld Bros. stand equal
with the others in the esteem of the public
The house was established in 1862. Start
ing on the principle of fair dealing, and to
give full value for every dollar expended,
the firm name of Rothfeld Bros. has be-
come the synonym for integrity and square
business practice, and is as well known on
the coast and in some parts of the Terrific
ries as at home. Keeping steadily along
with the growth of the city, it has been
| their constant aim to provide the very best
of foreign and home goods to suit the differ
ent classes of their customers. As their
business increased the necessity became ur-
gent to make direct connections with Eu-
rope and New York, and to-day Rothfeld
Bros. have a resident buyer in New York
city, and they import their cloaks, silks,
dress goods, velvets, linens, etc, from first
hands, saving thereby commissions and ex-
ira expenses of middlemen, giving the BEN
eft of difference in first cost, etc, to their
numerous patrons. As an instance of the
energy of this firm, it is only necessary to
state that when, three years ago, the fire
fiend in 1876 destroyed their business
house, Mr.. S. Rothfeld, the senior member
of the firm, started for the East before the
