The close Of the year is the season when the stock
OF every merchant and ira lesman is full fresh, and
placed at the lowest living rates. There very
many reasons why Sacramento as business center
is the most advantageous place in which TO purchase
Chief among these may be set forth Its central
location aud the ease with which orders for ship
meut can be filled. Orders for goods of every de.
scription reach Sacramento daily, in time to be
filed and shipped the same day. Sacramento mer-
chants large freehage fares to their customers
of the interior, by Of location They are
nearly all direct importers, and sell at rates equal
to, and in large line OF goods, less than merchants
at the commercial port of the State, who labor
under the disadvantages of high rents and long
transportation routes. There are reasons, however,
equally potent. Competition here is closer and
more evenly balanced, and the stocks are selected
with more care, as our tradesmen enjoy the advan
tages Of selection in variety and quality that are no.
equally open to dealers in larger cities, who are
forced to large stocks and compelled to rapid sales
The Sacramento public, too, is more critical and
acting and tradesmen here obliged to reach and
fill high standard OF excellence as against their
more pretentious neiehbors. These and other rea

wholesale and retail grocers and merchants, manu-

they can and do offer decided inducements to inte

petition and brings to the front still better grade
OF goods, and as fact our merchants assure US that
in most classes of goods finer quality, better work
manship and more choice designs prevail than in any
previous year, and OF holiday goods especially is
this true. In accordance with our annual custom
we present herewith list of merchants whose pru-
dence and Judgment have chosen our columns as
mediums for presenting their claims to the people.
While to the general public abroad these houses
offer superior inducements, upon own people
they have peculiar claims, and no Sacramentan viii
forget the duty he owes to patronize first his
tewnsmen and those who contribute to the pros
perity and maintenance of the city of his home
aside from which, he will find or examination, that
as varied assortments and rare goods, at as low
rates. are be had at home as in larger marts. It.
however, does not now need argument to establish
the advantages OF this market, for the fact is that
the people have proved them by the most practical
tests, and today the market area OF the city ex-
tends throughout Northern and Central California,
south long distance and east to the further Terri
tories, and the trade of Sacramento is established
beyond all question. The reasons cannot be gain.
