Mr.. Bash opened his establishment in
1867. and entered at once upon a profitable
business, which has steadily improved ever
since he is n direct importer from the
leading houses OF the East, and gives his
patrons the same advantages as regards the
discount OF wharfage, transfer tees, etc.,
offered by all the business houses OF Sacra-
mento. He pays no tent, having purchased
the building in which he IS at present car
rying on his business, and this reduction IN
expenses is also advantageous to his Gus
toners. The arrangements Of his display
rooms are artistic, and the variety and
beauty of the goods exhibited render the
interior one of attraction and produce a
dazzling effect, especially at night, when
the long room is brilliantly illuminated.
The newest styles of gas hangings, In which
much art has recently been displayed, are
in ful stock at this house also the new
popular gas stoves of recent pattern. All
the late line styles of shades and standards
are i'm ported by Mr.. Bush as fast as they
come to the trout also the latest and most
desirable patterns in gas fixtures and
plumbing wares. His reputation as a gas
litter and plumber is beyond question, and
he ranks with the best in the State. He
makes a speciality of putting in fixtures
and setting steam apparatus according to
the most improved methods. On all SAM
tary matters connected with drainage and
house plumbing he keeps pace with latest
discovery, and his wer-connection work
and trap-sstting may always ne depended
upon as being the most advanced and done
upon the best-known sanitary principles.

Standing in the advance guard of the
solid and progressive business houses Of
Sacramento, is that of w R. Strong & Co.,
wholesale dealers in fruits, nuts, seeds,
honey and general produce. Mr.. Strong,
the senior member, commenced business in
Sacramento, OF J street. between Seventh
and Eighth, in July 1852 On the ID OF
November of that year, while just beglI.
ming to make himself felt in business circles,
the great fire burned him out but he imme
diately re. established the business. Flood
followed fire, and November TO- 1852, the
water came into the city, remaining three
months, and during a part of that time it
was three feet deep in his store. Mr.. Strong
hoated his goods to the town, then called
Ho5oken, near the point where Brighton
now is. During this period the business
of the city was done chiefly in boats drawn
by oxen, when the water was too shallow
for floating. In the year 1858 Mr.. Strong
removed to the corner of j and Fourth
streets, on the location now occupied by
the Capital Bank building, But the ele-
ments kept after the house in July IA.
1854. came the great conGagration, and
swallowed up the establishment. The ire
started in the rear OF Campbelps furniture
store. Mir. Strong lost in this fire nearly
every thing. He began business again at
the corner of Second and X streets. In
1857 the business was removed to j street.
between Seventh and Eighth, where it re-
manned until July, 1865, when Mr. Strong
placed It in its present locality, street,
between Front and Second. In 1873 Rob
ert Williamson became a member of the
house, and April l. 1878, Mr.. P. Z. Platt
was also admitted into the firm. The bust
ness has been steadily increasing, and is
now extended all over the Pacific coast.
Their specialties of trade embrace green
and dried fruits, nuts, honey, canned
goods of all kinds, seeds, vegetables and
general merchandise for the iobbing trade.
The store of Strong & Co. is very spa
cious one, having a frontage of 65 feet and
a depth of 100 feet, and basement under

ner especia ly adapted to the vast business
of the firm, which is one of the largest
among the whole ale dealers of the Pacific
coast.

Historical sketches of the business of
Sacramento must, to be complete, embrace
some reference to this notable and solid
banking house. 1t was widely known as
the bank of D. o. Mills & Co in the palmy
days of 1850, and through all the vicissi-
tudes incident to business on this coast. it
has never yet closed its doors in banking
hours on any business day. Its capital
stock is $500 900, and its business extends
over the central and northern parts Of the
State, Nevada. Oregon and the Territories.
Its transactions with Eastern banks show
that our merchants have become direct i'm.
porters on a large scale since the compile
ton of the railroad. The report of the
bank, recently published, shows

This house is one of the pioneer houses
OF this city, and has trade second to none
north of San Francisco. Importing, as
they do, all their goods from manufactur-
ers and first hands, they are in position
to sell as low as any house in their line,
and in this connection it would be in order
to state that they are willing to dupli-
cate any bills bought of any other house
ID the State. The trade of California and
Nevada IS rapidly finding out these facts
Oregon, too, is falling in their wake.
they tell us, too, that their business is
steadily increasing, both in the volume of
trade and the territory they supply. Their
sales testify to this fact, sales for 1880
beng considerably larger than those of
1879, and almost double those of 1870.
These are facts, and as such speak for
themselves. They attribute this increase
to their methods of doing business, viz.
the close margins on which they buy
and sell; the quality of goods they keep
They handle none but the best wares),
and by following the golden rule in all
their dealings, whereby their patrons can
order as well by letter as in person, no
advantage being taken of their absence
Their experience, which extends over
period of thirty years in this market is de-
voted to the welfare of their customers
Their specialties are teas, tobaccos, cigars
WHISTLES and sugar cured hams. Their
teas are imported from Japan under the
following well known brands Z" L. & Co,
extra choice; K in diamond, and g Fan
Chop, in jars, These goods are fast gain
ing favor, sales OF them for 1880 doubling
those of 1879 Tobacco and cigars they
have fine stock OF, which they sell at
grocers' profits. Their sugar-cured meats,
cured by S. H. Clough, Chicago, are too
well known to the trade to need any COM

Agency, 2I7 and ?I9 Street.
The whole civilized world has knowledge
of the great wagon manufacturers of South
Bend, Ind. Their make of farm, freight
and spring wagons is to be found in plenty
in all the many sections of the continent.
This manufacturing inn is one of the chief
of the world, and It's works are mammoth
in extent and capacity. The works turn
out wagons, bugges, carriages, etc., of
| every possible variety. The Messrs. Stu
debaker make more wagons, carriages,
buggies and vehicles OF every description
than any single company in the world.
They manufacture anything from the light
est track sulky TO the finest landau, and
from hgat spring wagon to a ten-mule-
| team wagon. 4 grand total of its manu-
facture was made up three years ago and
showed 100, 800 vehicles made for the de-
cade closing with the end Of 1871. There
| could not be such production without an
! equivalent demand there could be no
such demand except based on the
real worth of the article produced.
But the element OF cost hal much to do
With it. The Studebakers sell cheaper than
their rivals, and as their goods are made to
wear IN every cline, the result Is vast
and overwhelming trade. Al the Sacra-
msnto depot may be seen and procured any
work IN whole or duplicate made at the
great works in South Bend. It is the
agency also for the genuine Ssrven patent
wheel, which has met such general APP
prevail as TO become one of the standard
and leading articles IN trade. The agency
has extensive warerooms on Third street
also. II has here a very large and con-
stantly growing interior trade. The agency
keeps commercial travellers constantly in
che field, and their report up to date is
that there is. as there was last year,
unanimous sentiment throughout Nevada,
northern and interior California. in favor of
trading with Sacramento as supply CEN
ter. So universal is this that it has ex.
cited the surprise of the travelling agents
that it should so prevail In all communities,
and especially in some which heretofore
traded but little or none in this market.
Enis justiiies the act of Studebaker Bros.
in making this city one of their great dis
tribuiion points. aud in maintaining here
depot to which they invite visits from all
dealers and agriculturists.
