GEORGE A. DAVIS,
Dealer in agricultural Implements, Corner
Market and Front Streets 81

Mr.. Davis occupies the corner building
of the Spreckles block, on the corner of
Market and Front, and has large and
varied stock of agricultural implements
now well known throughout the coast
country. His connections are with the
very best Eastern houses, and his machin-
cry is made especially for the work on this
coastal fully warranted BY both Mr..
Davis and tie maker. On account of the
increasing demand for these implements,
his premises have been recently enlarged
and improved, elegant and convenient
offices fitted up, additional storage ar.
ranged, and the stock largely increased by
recent arrivals of latest patterns. In farm
wagons and carriages the stock is made up
from the celebrated Fish Brothers manu-
facture, and consists OF heavy and light
wagons, open and top spring wagons
with extension top four springs or
side bar, patent or plain wheels, patent
equalizer Holmes patent schooling thim-
bic skein, and all the very latest improve
ments, made especially for coast trade. In
plowE, the "Garden City Clipper" line is
fully represented. including the "Califor-
MIA Scotch Clipper" "chilled" plows,
several sizes, sulky, gang and single plows,
with "brake" arrangement for lifting the
pillow out of the ground by horsepower,
and an attachment known as the "Tule
Pillow Bottom, an excellent thing for work
in "raw" lands.
Special attention is called to the Furst
& Bradley" chilled iron bottoms, which
can be attached to the &c Garden City Gang
Plows." The change can be made with no
trouble or waste of time; ali that is neces-
sary is to loosen two bolts, take off the
steel bottom, and use the chilled bottom in
the place OF it. A gang plow can be OBJ
tanned with either steel or chilled bottom,
or both, as farmers may desire.
In horse rakes, the 'Furst & Bradley
hand and self-dump, strong durable and
simple, easily operated, cast-steel spring,
tempered teeth, dumps by friction bands,
has twenty double coil teeth, each indie
pendent of the other. In cultivators there
are combined riding and walking cultiva-
tors, double aud single shovel, suitable for
summer fallow, corn, vineyard or garden
work, adjustable for all widths and every
desirable depth of cut. In harrows the
Z" Friedman and Scotch and others,
besides the celebrated :" La Dow" joiuted
pulverizing harrow, three sizes-two, three,
and four horses cuts, six, ten and fifteen
! feet wide. 1t is extensively used on the
coast, and the demand constantly increases.
1t must be seen to be appreciated.
In the harvesting machinery, the Deer
ing Irvine Binder " takes the lead The
sale of these machines during the past sea-
son has proven that they are success, cut
ting and binding the grain with Irvine and
giving no trouble in the field.
The Weyrich Header is also in stock,
and so well known that we need not men,
ton its good qualities. 1t has very large
sale, and gives entire satisfaction. The
"Wheeler & Melick line of threshers are
represented, including "Wheelers i'm
proved vibrator, thresher and cleaner"
which was first made in 1851, and has been
improved and perfected.
This line of railway threshers and powers
is worthy of consideration, especially by
the owners of small or medium-sized
farms, who need to be economical in hand
ling their crops.
These small machines are in use all over
the world among the farmers with small or
medium-sized tracts, and arc popular for
their great saving qualities.
Mr.. Davis represents six of the leading
manufacturers of agricultural implements
in she United States. He is by far the
largest importer upon the Pacific coast in
his line ef goods. By actual inspection of
his freight account we learn that he OBJ
tanned ll6 car loads of wagons, plows, head
ers, harro"s, e-c., last year, between jan
uary LIST and December LIST. We do not
suppose there is any one house which be-
gins to compare with him in this large re-
ceipt OF his specialties. BE may not make
SO many pretensions, or as glazing show
as some other houses, but when one comes
to figure up his annual sales. it is found
that he is in reality the principal whole
saler of agricultural implements in San
Francisco. He makes a speciality of order
ing in car. load lots to the interior mer-
chants, and, as he acts as agent for the
manufacturers he represents, he is able to
offer them as low figures as other importers
pay for the same class of goods. The man.
