This firm demands that nothing be
promised in It's name but that it can prove
true. II has recently moved into new and
handsome quarters in a fine brick structure
erected by the firm and owned by it. This
gives the house yard room40b by l00feet and

ers. 1t does all kinds of fine marble and
granite work, either for monumental or
house fitting purposes. 1t does the same
grade of work here possible to any of its
Sacramento or San Francisco competitors,
and by reason of the commercial advan,
tages of Sacramento, can and does compete
on a level with the San Francisco marble
workers. It buys its stock wherever it can
do so to the best advantage, and thus pur-
chases at the San Francisco wholesale or
supply yards or imports direct. It works
in and keeps the usual variety of American
and European marbles, Scotch and home

eign and Domestic Wines and Liquors.
In reviewing the wine and liquor trade
OF Sacramento we find the firm of Wilcox,
Powers & Co., sos K street, to be among
the most prominent houses, not only in
Sacramento city, but of the coast. This is
no doubt largely due to the untiring energy
and broad experience of the gentlemen
composing the firm. The house is at
present composed OF Aaron H. Powers,
John Spruance and Samuel L. Stanley, the
first named managing the business in Sacra-
mento and the two latter residing in San
Francisco. Though these gentlemen, with
Mr.. Wilcox Whose death last March the
whole business community regretted, and
caused loss to the city that was deeply
felt), have only been associated as firm for
about three years, each member Of the
house has been many years in the business,
and their long experience, together with
the large capital invested in their en-.
terprise, has enabled them to achieve a
marked success, the best evidence of which
is that their sales have increased many
thousands of dollars each successive year
they have been in existence. In the last
year they have enlarged and embellished
their contingencies, besides adding
largely to their facilities for handling
goods They carry large and well,se-
lected stock of goods, and pay particular
attention to the selection and preservation
of their numerous brands of whisky The
most prominent of their brands of whisky,
and of which they are sole agents, are

Much OF the success Of the business of the
firm is due undoubtedly to the admirable
location of the house, but still more is it
due to its method of doing business, to the
energy and far-sightedpess Of the firm, and
to the low rates at which it supplies the
trade. It has here but low rentals to pay
visits on It's customers no wharfage OF

of bay competitors, fills orders on the day
they are made, and besides all this, buyers
receive their goods at less freight charges
than is possible over the longer haul from
San Francisco. In addition, the firm is a
direct importer, buys nothing out of second
hands, and purchases in such immense
quantities in the Eastern and European
markets, that It can afford to sell with the
very narrowest margin of profit, for the
large purchases insure to it the heavies!

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES

For the prosecution of an extensive whole
sale trade, and that it is the natural and
central depot of supply for vast and pros
porous territory, and that in glass and
crockeryware lines tAere was special need
for a leading house in Sacramento, Acker-
man & Co. entered the field, bid for the
share of patronage, and to this time has
won success which is simply phenomenal.
There is hardly any parallel in commercial
annals for the rapid growth of this house,
and the rapidity with which it commanded
splendid trade. In 1881, although the
competition in all crockery and glassware
lines was sharper than ever before, Acker-
man & Co. s house lost none of its trade,
but entered upon new sections to which TO
send supplies, and at the close of the year
found its books to evidence splendid ad-
vance in fact, success very much beyond
expectation. The facilities and trade in
fuence of the house are now such, that the
outlook points to still greater increase,
and still broader field for trade in the
year 1882, and for this the establishment,

Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Poultry,
Fruits, Fish, Canned Goods. Etc.
Nothing takes the eye of an observer SO
quickly as the fine display of fruits and
produce shown by our city markets. The
largest complete market-that includes
every branch of daily perishable goods
owned by one firm, not excepting San
Francisco-is the Fulton Market, corner of
Fifth and K streets. Last March Mr..
Anthony, of the firm of Longton &
Anthony, had a severe attack of the Wood
river fever, and Mr.. May, young man
from Massachusetts, with an eye to bust
ness, bought Mr.. Anthony's half interest,
and the new firm OF Longton & May began
its career, which has been singularly sue
cessful in the face of a strong opposition.
From o'clock a. NJ. 10 summer, and 4 in
winter, till late at night, their market
is always a scene of activity. Their
facilities for buying are the very
best, the rancher having only to
drive to their side door and deliver his
load. They own the largest and best
equipped poultry yard in the State, and al
ways keep on hand select stock of tur-
keys, geese, ducks and chickens. All kinds
of fresh and salt water fish can be found
in their fish department; they import
direct every week oysters on ice from the
East, and also offer for sale all other kinds
of shell fish. a speciality that this enter
prising firm have taken up is the sale Of
canned goods, bought by contract at low
figures from the best Gamers in the State
these goods they offer at exceptionally low
rates. Nuts and all kinds of table fruits
are always on hand, including Strawberries
from April to December. a rapidly grow
ing trade which the firm is establishing is
represented by their advertisement of
" country orders a specially" They in
part supply nearly every town along the
line of the railroad as far east as Eureka.
They have large trade in Ogden, and
also ship fruits TO Silver City, n. NJ. In
their city trade their idea is to buy Just
enough to have fresh supply Of goods
every day, and this is appreciated by their
customers, who make ample work for the
three delivery teams from morning TIL
night.

The trade of Mr.. Russell, an old and
well-establi<hed one, has extended its limits
very much during the past year, and also
increased in volume within the city and
vicinity. Mr.. Russell deals only in goods
OF superior quality, and those of inferior
goods are not found upon his shelves. His
stock is as complete as any to be found
upon the coast, and by his methods of deal
ing and purchasing he affords to his Gus
toners and the trade all advantages accru-
ing from the Sacramento market. He
draws his supplies from first hands and
manufacturers at the East and elsewhere,
and by making extensive purchases d.
rect, is enabled to give profitable rates to
the trade, from whatever source upon the
coast, and by the centrality OF this market
can furnish goods to the interior and more
distant points two or three days In ad-
vance OF San Francisco.

street, sacIuHieHIOs
William Schroer, the surviving member
of this old and widely known firm, now
conducts the busineas of the Eagle Cracker
Bakery. It is one of the largest OF the man.
ufacturing industries of the city, and is a
type of the success which the natural ad-
vantages of Sacramento guarantee when
seconded by skill, business sagacity and
untiring industry. The house bid for an
extensive and stable wholesale trade, and
it has succeeded even beyond its early an
ticipations. The factory, fitted with the
best and most improved machinery for pro-
ducing the very best class and all the vari-
cites of crackers, has made each year better
and better goods, until now its goods are
surpassed by none. Schroer is enabled to
devote more time and attention TO the pro-
ducts of his very large and constantly busy
establishment. because in Sacramento he
can conduct such business at less cost
than is possible to the San Francisco manu-
facturer The loWness of rents, the gen.
eral economy of labor and living here, etc,
all enable the house to give its customers
rates that are below those of all COMPETE
tors. Out of this fact has grown the great
wholesale trade it carries on, coupled
with the fact that the house ships
to its patrons at less fseightage and in
less time than is possible to a San Fran
cisco manufacturer. Schroer buys his
stock direct and in large quantities. his fac
tory is 40 by 100 feet, with a storage-room
of like area. He operates Kennedys
patent rotary oven and holds the right Tor

cal known, and vastly superior to the old

supplying Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado.
and like Western points, the same care is
exercised as in shipping to the far East.
For the former markets more risk is taken,
in the latter the sales are absolute and the
market is nearer, so that it is to the inter-
est of the firm to cultivate the Western
market and supply it with first
class goods only, to secure careful Sc
lection and the most prompt shipment
Recently the firm removed from their old
location at Second and J streets to new
quarters at 1905, zoos and 1910 Second
street, between and K. This removal
was natural step in the remarkable
progress of the house. It's old quarters
had been for years far too confined By
the removal they entered upon quarters pre-.
pared under long lease especially for the
firm, and it is safe to say that it now occu-
pies as fine series of store rooms as are to
be found on the coast. The firm has the
whole building formerly known as the Ar
cade Hotel. All the upper portion it sub
lets for residences. The main floor is the
chief store room, and has frontage of 90
feet and a depth OF 100, running back to
the alley, and is all in one store room,
divided by an arch OF 25 foot span into two
main sections. The front SO feet consti-
tutes the sales room, in the center of which
is located the elegantly finished and fitted
up counting room, business and private
Offices, while all to the rear of the arch is
set apart as packing room. The offices
are models in finish and construction, and
are furnished with every convenience and
office improvement To the Left OF the main
store room is the sample apartment for
dried and canned fruits, adjoining is a hat
and courtroom, and next the elevator
Running between this and the lower floor,
at the right of the main storeroom, is the
canned fruit and seed department and a
swinging platform for choice seeds and
nuts. The seed department is an admira-
bly, neat arrangement of drawers and bins
The packing room is fitted with car tracks
and noiseless trucks. The entire base
ment story is utilized for packing, as also
the sidewalk space, giving in all Us feet
of depth. This floor is ON a level with the
alley, making it very convenient for the
receipt and discharge of goods. In the late
season the firm employed some 400 men
and over $500 worth of boxes day, and
shipped as high as fifty tons per day of
green fruit to the East.
