Wholesale Dealers In Fruit, Nuts, Seeds,
Honey ana General Produce.
nos. 6. 5 AND 10 ] STREE

This establishment can now be classed
among the oldest, as well as the most
popular in California. Mr.. Strong, the
senior member, commenced business in
this city in July, 1852 Twice he was
burned out, and orce during the grea.
flood of 1851 his stock was destroyed by
water but the indomitable energy OF the
true pioneer never forsook him, and he has
lived to see his efforts crowned with sue
cess. In 1865 the house removed to its
present location on j street, between
Front and Second, a spot most eliglbly sit
uated for its shipping trade, being only a
few steps removed from the offices of the
railroads, boats and express company.
There has been gradual increase and en-
largement of trade from that time until the
present, and they are now doing one of the
most extensive trades OF this city, and proba-
bly, furnishing goods in their line over as
large, or larger, an extent Of territory than
any other house, their customers beingfound
in every part of California, Oregon, Nevada,
Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, and
beyond to the north and east, and in Ari-
IONA, New Mexico and Texas, at the south.
The firm, as now constituted, consists of W.
K. Strong, Robert Williamson and Phil. E.
Plat. The increase in trade of the past
year has been fully twenty-five per cent.
over the previous, and there has been no
year since 1865 that has not shown an IN
crease in business and prosperity. The
firm points with pride to this record. Their
specialties OF trade are seeds, in all their
varieties: green, dried and canned fruits,
general produce and merchandise, etc. They
give their attention to filing the orders of
customers for every class of merchandise,
although not Immediately in their own
line. The result of their careful attention
to the wants of their customers has secured
to them unlimited confidence, and thus
enormously increased the volume of their
trade. Their premises are very capacious,
with frontage and depth of 60 by
100 feet, with fine basement under the
entire area, and is packed full OF the
goods required for their heavy trade.
The firm owns the property it occupies,
and is therefore under no expense for rent.
1t employs no travelling agents, and gives
personal attention to the business. They
claim that this saving in expenses enables
them to most successfully compete with
any legitimate house under any and all cir
cumstances. The business of packing and
shipping fruit, vegetables and other pro-
duce, from the perishable nature of the
goods, is naturally very difficult one
This firm has had extended experience, and
has learned the very best method that can
be employed. They know, as near as it is
possible, the wants of their customers, and
have had great success in meeting those
requirements The firm is in every sense
a live one, as its increasing business fully
attests. Their motto is Large sales and
small profits, believing the true object in
trade to be to increase the volume OF bust
ness as well as its territory.

This house is a branch of the parent
house in San Francisco It was established
here year ago, because the firm saw ad-
vantages in Sacramento as promising and
growing trade center which wisdom babe it
avail Of. These ara, that while here its
goods can be sold at level rates with the San
Francisco house, they can be shipped easier,
and orders for all the eastern and upper
country can be flied from two TO three
days sooner.
THE PURCHASER
Has neither carriage nor wharfage, and
saves the cost OF the freight paid between
San Francisco aud Sacramento Besides,
local expenses are less here, and there are
two oil-shipping days now from Sacramento
when before there was bus one. E. H.
Forester, the experienced manager of the
Sacramento branch, reports that the years
trial has demonstrated these ADVANTAGES,
and that the success OF the house here has
even exceeded expectation. The firm car
ries full lines of paints, ole, glass, var
nishes, brushes, artists supplies, coal and
lubricating oils, in barrels or cases, and

a SPECIALITY
With this firm IS alcohol. Being the own
ers and propri5tors of the Bay View Dis
tillsry at San Francisco, it has facilities
and opportunities for handling alcohol
that no other house enjoys. The Sacra-
mento branch occupies two floors, 80 by
100 feet each, and the business already
demands nearly as much more room. This
house, as brilliantly as any that has ever
been established here, illustrates all we
have said concerning the advantage that
accrues to the trade that takes in its sup
plies here. The firm has large capital,
long experience, and is one of the leading
houses in the commercial circle of the
State As such it has broad reputation
for fair dealing, excellence of goods and
price list offers to the trade of the coast an
equivalent to quoting The very lowest mar
ket rates for any articles in which the firm
deals.
