The Pioneer Mills are among the largest
industries in the State The mills have
been in operation twenty-five years, aud
their brand is known the whole length of
the coast. Their product is sent lar and
wide, and goes largely to China and Gen.
trail and South America. The brand sells
in the home market of rivals, and is called
for over them. During 1881 the proprietors
ran the mills to their full capacity, and
even had to decline offers for business.
They are the largest interior purchasers
of milling stock, and stores and advances
on grain. The annual business aggregates
an enormous sum, and is second in the in
dustries of the city only to the great works
of the Central Pacific Railroad. The mills
have the best of locations, with ample
wharves of their own for shipping On one
side of them is the Central Pacific Railroad,
on another The California Pacific Railroad,
both close to their walls, while on still an
other side runs the Sacramento river, thus
giving them unsurpassed transportation
facilities.

Mr.. Hammer started in the music bust
ness In Sacramento some twenty. five years
ago, when the music on this coast was in
its infancy, and from year to year has
steadily increased, until to-day he has one
of the largest and most reliable music
houses upon the Pacific coast. For the
past eighteen years he has had the agency
| for the world renowned Chickering pianos,
which have gained such widespread rep

every country on the globe, as is apparent

these instruments for public and private
use, but to find SO many OF them in the

this to be the case, as among the multi

brilliancy, power, ard softness of tone,
these pianos cannot be excelled."
Messrs. Chickeripg & Sons recently in
vented the greatest improvement yet made
in the history of pianoforte manufacture,

pianos. In all parts OF the action contain.

for wood, thereby making it entirely in

ing upright piano can be justly said to
have no equal in the world. The Wilcox
& White organs are also sold by this house,
and the superiority OF these instruments
as they gradually became known, has given
them leading name on the coast and Mr..
Hammer tells us that the demand from
year to year has increased beyond his most
sanguine expectations. 1t is the only
organ having children's adjustable blow
pedals, which enatlss child five years cd
to manipulate it with perfect ease. Mr..
Hammer is also wholesale and retail dealer
in sheet music and all kinds OF musical
merchandise, and being in constant CORE
spondence with the leading houses in the
country is prepared to furnish everything
