H. NJ. Bernard is the pioneer carriage
builder of the coast. More than that, he
is the leader among carriage builders. His
work has almost a continental reputation.
But for the excellence of lis work he could
not command the trade he does, for it is
widespread and extends now even beyond
Ogden and far north. up and down the
coast. Reputation, grounded on superior
work, has given him
THE LEADERSHIP
In California, Nevada, Oregon, Montana
and all the mountainous territorial regions.
He is even now engaged in building to or
der, and to nearly the full capacity of bis
large force, vehicles for distant sections
outside the State. A few remarks may be
interesting, right here, as to the reasons
for the assertions already made.
First-Bernard mas had long and severe
experience and IS master OF his trade in
every branch, and takes greater pride in
his work than in the profits from it.
Second-He uses only the very best sea-
soned second growth hickory and ash in
the construction CT vehicles, and these he
brings from North Carolina and New Jer.
sey.
Third-His bodies are made up and
stored for long period before being fin.
ished. All his stock is stored and thor.
oughly seasoned and adapted to the varied
climates of this coast.
Fourth-Hs puts up no work carelessly
thoroughness and perfection is his aim.
Fifth-His workmen are the most skilled
to be found, and his trimmers and inishers
do work that eclipses Eastern models; and
this is no mere boast, but can be verified
by visit to his factory at any time.
Sixth-He has all the best and latest
machinery.
Seventh-This dry climate is better than
any other adapted to turning ont superior
products of the carriage makers art.
THE PEOPLE
Know the value OF Demands work, as is
evidenced by their orders for it in Sacra-
mento and in ali important sections, and as
result he claims and offers proof that he
does more work to order than all the other
manufacturers in his line in the city, and
that his buggies, carriages and phaetons
are in greater demand than are those of
any other or Of Eastern manufacturers,
such as Brewster Of New York and others
Demands work, unlike Eastern work,
stands this climate AS an evidence that
this is well appreciated, he finds that not
one Brewster buggy is shipped to this mar
ket now where there used to be ten. Every
square inch of work turned out of the En-
reka factory is from first to last under Ber-
nard's personal supervision.
As a RESULT
He has beaten every prominent carriage
maker on the coast at the different fairs,
and his work Invariably takes the gold
medal over all others. Up to this date he
has received eight gold medals, eight silver
medals and forty eight first class premiums.
This is a splendid record, and sets all CON-
petitors in the shade. His regular adver-
tisement appears elsewhere in this paper,
and should be reld by the interested.
During the year 1880 his business increased
over ten per cent. in volume and value.
He now works the largest number Of hands
employed in any interior carriage factory,
and as they are all the very best class of
workmen. he pays the very best wages. 1t
would be interesting to go on and specify
some of his specialties, such as his side-bar
k-boards, his cutters and sleighs for
snowy regions, his fine road and family
vehicles. etc., bu. space forbids.
