Business Houses of Sacramento.
JAMES Z. FELTER IL CO..
Wholesale Wine and Liquor House.
Orleans Building,


lOl6 AND 1918 SECOND STREET, WEST SIDE,
BETWEEN AND STREETS.
James I. Felter & Co., the leading wine
and liquor dealers in Sacramento, formerly
on Front, removed last May to the CON-
modious stores Nos. 1916 and lois Second
street, next to Wells, Fargo & Co.'S ex-
press office, having frontage of 40 feet,
running back to the alley, loo feet, with
basement of the same dimensions. The
business OF the house has increased I'M
mensely during the past year and its
trade area has greatly expanded.
The firm has large warehouse on Front
street for the storage OF California wines
and brandies Of their own product from
their vineyards in Sacramento and adjoin-
ing counties. This house IN order TO meet
and be able TO compete successfully with
the Eastern liquor houses that have extended
their business to this coast by sending their
drummers and agents throughout the State,
soliciting orders for goods in their line
to be shipped direct to the purchaser
from the East, has established close re-
lations with reputable Eastern distillers.
This firm now has a house in Cow
ington, Kentucky, and one in Cincinnati,
Ohio, from which they are in constant re-
ceipt of goods in the whisky line in car
load lots, which on arrival here they dis
patch and ship direct to their customers in
the interior, direct from the railroad COM
panys platform and this the firm is ena-
bled to do at a greatly reduced rate of
freight and expense, under special con-
tracts for transportation in carload lots.
This firm, since the extension of the S. P.
X. Z. to Arizona, have extended their
trade in that direction, and now enjoy
large and prompt-paying trade in that
section, particularly in their line OF Cali
fornia wines and brandies, which find ready
sale, being something new for that country.
There is no house on the Pacific coast that
can boast of larger and more varied stock
of wines and liquors than the firm of James
l. Felter & Co., and none that can exhibit
a more select stock from the finest grades
of imported cegnacs, gins, wines, cham
pagnes and French liquors down to and
including all the choice productions of
California wines and brandies. The firm
seeing thenatural advantages of Sacramento
as railroad center for the distribution of
the goods in their line, have acted with
business sagacity that others will no doubt
follow, and soon we may expect to gee the
capital city of Sacramento the leading point
In the State for wine and liquor dealers in
terests of the Pacific coast The ad
vantages of Sacramento for climatic i'm
provement on wines and brandies is an
acknowledged fact, hence the largely
inc -eased traffic in this line of
goods from this point. A visit
to the store and warehouses OF
Messrs Felter & Co., viii be of interest to
any one, whether they be confirmed tip
piers or confirmed templars, for if of the
latter class the firm can furnish them with
the celebrated natural Apolinaris mineral
water of Germany, or the Bethesda water
of Waukeshaw, Wis, both said to be spe-
cifcs for all the ills that weak nature is
subject to. In this line alone the firm has
a large trade, importing the waters direct
from the springs In addition to their
wine and liquor business, they have also a
large jobbing cigar department, where all
the choicest brands are kept in stock. 1t
may be taken as no exaggeration to say that
a visit to this establishment will not only
interest and greatly repay, but will con-
vince all beyond question that Sacramento
is not only the best but the cheapest place
to invest their money in this class OF goods
especially. Purchasers should not 60 by
Felter & Co. S establishment without call
ing. They will find the heads of the firm
and their employees glad to receive, ready
TO explain as to business and freely and
cordially welcoming the inquiring.
