AGENTS FOR sTUDEBAKER BROS. WAGONS.
The firm of Holman, Stanton & Co.
commenced business in this city in a small
corner storeroom at Second and j streets,
only three years ago this month, with but
very modest pretensions, but determined
that with meritorious goods. which would
stand competition, to build up a trade.
The agricultural implements handled by
them were found in all cases to fully an
swer the representations of the firm and
the entire wants OF their customers, and
they therefore rapidly gained substantial
trade. The quarters chosen at their small
beginning gradually became more
crowded, until after passing through a
series OF movements for securing from time
70 time the necessary storage room for their
increasing business, they have at last, dur.
ing the past season, removed to the spa
cious building and storerooms formerly &C.
cupied by Marcus Hawley & Co., on J
street, between Second and Third. Here
they have every facility desired by them
for storage, and enabling them to display
their goods to the satisfaction of pur-
chasers. The storeroom for agricultural
implements, hardware, ETC., has 60 feet
| frontage and extends back to the alley-a
distance of l60 feet under single roof,
with basement of the same size. The lat.
ter is packed full of implements and stock
carried by them. The main floor is occu.
pied as a sample-room, and gallery so by
go feet is also closely filled. The firm
deals in all general agricultural inple-
ments. 1t imports direct from the manu-
facturers, and saves to its customers on
| freight by reason of carload shipments ;
also on cost of packing, and because
of lessened expenses in many ways
the Woods mower are cold by them,
but the former they claim has proved
itself to be the best in the mar
ket, and its sales has been SO great as to be
almost beyond parallel. OF the articles of
greater sale, the celebrated wagons of
Studebaker, of North Bend, Indiana, and
those of Fish Bros, of Racine, Wisconsin,
and the Oliver chilled plows, are the prin-
cipal. The farm, freight and header
wagons of Fish Bros. are well known, and
Endorsed throughout the Union for sterling
qualities. During the past year the firm
of Holman, Stanton & Co. have absorbed
the agency of the Studebaker wagons,
the sale establishment of which in this
city was next door TO them, and have
rented these additional premises for stor-
age and sale of these wagons of all styles.
This makes their entire business front 100
feet by l60 in depth, with basement. They
carry in the Stu3ebakers a full stock OF
wagons of all kinds-freight, spring, ETC.,
and top buggies of all styles. An inter-
esting description of the Studebaker man
ufacturing works are given in another col
umn. Their stock in the celebrated
vehicles of these makes is far greater than
| any other upon the coast outside of San
Francisco. The Oliver chilled pillow is,
however, the great leader of this house,
and the increase of its sales seems to have
assumed an almost resistless pace. IL is
made at South Bend, Ind, and Holman,
Stanton & Co. have the exclusive agency
for California. They have sold about
1900 during the past three years, and the
sale this winter. has been far greater than
ever before. A new and wonderful inven.
ton has just been made by the Oliver
Plow Company in what they call the
Casaday Sulky Plow. 1t is made in both
sulky and gang plows, and is creating a
sensation among plowmen. The great
feature of it is that it has no land side.
that hitherto indispensable part being done
away with, and an inclined wheel, that
runs In the bottom of the previous furrow,
IS made to perform the duties of the dis.
earded piece, with am astonishing decrease
IN draft. They guarantee that it will pillow
twenty SIX inches of ground, and do good
work, with the same draft as twenty inches
turned by landslide plow.
