AND 500 SEVENTH STREET.
This house began here in a very simple
way, but now, under the management of
Mr.. Maurice Block, it is one of the most
extensive in interior California, and Illus
trates more strongly the advantages in the
market than that presented by any other
business in Sacramento. The establishment
of Alderman & Co. covers a great area.
The main store-room is 40 by 40 feet, and
the firm also occupies i've basement stories
for goods in bulk. The location, methods
of doing business, and advantages Of the
market, enable the firm to deal at lower
rate eff profit, and the result is gain to
the buyers which they are generally avail
ing of throughout the State and adjacent
Territories. Alderman & Co. make a
speciality of all grades and kinds of crock
cry, glass and plated-ware, and also of all
the fine and finished crockerywa known
to ceramic and decorative art, which is at
tracing SO much attention at the present
time. In decorative toilet the house
imports from Furnival & Sons, Stafford
shire, England, class of goods which has
no superior in style, art, work or durabil-
ity. Of white goods this firm imports di-
rectly the make of Chas. Meakin, Burslen,
England, which house turns out the best
goods known to the trade, and also keeps
the new pattern of notable beauty called
the Derby" All the usual brands of
white goods are also imported by Acker-
man & Co. ver-plated ware is had di-
rect from the Rogers Bros. works, West
Meriden, Conn, and these goods have no
superior in the markets of the day, either
as to wear, artistic design or richness of
finish. Pearl porcelain, which is true
imitation of French china, is brought from
the establishment of John Edwards, Stat
fordshire, for whose goods Alderman & Co.
are the sole agents for the Pacific coast.
French china is imported from the factory
of Haviland & Co., Limoges, France
Glassware is imported from all the large
and approved manufactures of Pittsburg,
Wheeling, Boston, Philadelphia and Bel.

all the interior, and is constantly kept up
by daily receipts from the best European
and American depOts of supply and manu-
facture. Mirrors, lamp stock, etc, are
of course included in the crockery and
glassware department, and are kept in
full stock and of all approved brands.
Table cutlery Alderman & Co. have from
John Russell & Co. 5 factory, Green River
Falls, Mass. American cutlery, and espe-
cially this brand, has no superior, the Eng
lish cutlery so long ranking first no longer
occupying that position. The house enjoys
all the economic advantages of the Sacra-
mento market Can fill orders two days in
advance of San Francisco; is not fettered
by the investment of large amount of
fixed capital make no charges for packing
or drayage Alderman & Co. have large
wholesale trade in the central and northern
part of the State also deal largely in Ne
vada, Arizona, Utah and Idaho. 1t must
suffice to say that the house of Alderman
& Co. offer superior inducements to all the
interior trade of California and the trans
montana business. Its importations are
from first hand.
