In our business reviews for years Mr..
Pettit's establishment has been prominent.
His business is representative of the city,
and it extends throughout the central and
northern regions His trade is specially
good in Yolo, Colusa, San Joaquin, ANA

ported cigars and tobaccos, and fresbens it
by constant receipt of goods direct from
the standard factories, foreign and dcmes-
tic. The stock chosen for making up in
his own establishment is of the best, and to
its manufacture he brings years of expe-
rience and broad and correct knowledge
OF the requirements of the trade. His
importations are to his own order and di-
rect, and hence come TO him at rates that
enable him to supply interior dealers at
prices that they cannot improve upon in
any rival market His establishment is lc-
Gated in the central part of the city, and

mento in which there is a more active and
determined competition than that repre-
sented by the tobacconist, and in it Mr..
Petit has always won success, The ad.
vautages of this market accrue to his
house, and hence he supplies the trade at
better rates than can be given by houses in
San Francisco, where local expenses are
heavier, and where the purchaser is COM
PEELED to pay for wharfage and drayage, be-
side the extra freight and loss of time be-
tween Sacramento and San Francisco. Mr.
Petit can generally fill orders on the day
of their receipt. Mr.. Petit travels ex-
tensively in the interest of his house, and
wherever he goes he is able to convince the
people of the just claims of Sacramento as
depot of supply.

ment0.
Probably no clothiers in California are
more widely known than the firm above
named. The house is pioneer in the
business. "Jack Nathan, whose name
is familiar in business circles on the At
lantic and the Pacific, laid the basis for the
business and opened it nearly thirty years
ago, and never since on business day has
it closed, and not once has it ceased to ad-
vance in Importance and value. The firm
for the Sacramento house consists of L.
Phillips and S. j. Nathan; for the San
Francisco house, 80 Battery street, and for
the New York house, IS Reade street, of
Nathan, Pulverman & Co. After the house
was founded in Sacramento, Mr.. Nathan
entered into the wholesale business in San
Francisco and New York, and the firm as
now constituted in those places took on
the title given. Mr.. Nathan now dsvotes
his whole time in New York, at the Reade
street factory, to supplying the Sacramento
and the San Francisco establishments. The
maxim of the firm has always been and

sign they have conquered. The trade of
the house has steadily broadened, and to-
day no exclusively clothing establishment
in the interior of California commands such
a wide business circle or carries so large and
varied stock. the house in Sacramento
keeps the fullest possible lines, for retail
and for jobbing, of mems, youths and
boys clothing, furnishing goods, trunks,
hats, caps, etc. The advantage this firm
enjoys of close relation with Eastern manu-
facturers, and of having a resident buyer
in New York, and of being itself New
York manufacturer, gives 1t facilities supe.
rior to those enjoyed by any other house.
The fact addresses itself to the reason of
all, and should be sufficient to convince
the buyer of two things: First, that Ma
than & Co. can sell at the lowest figure
second that they cannot afford, even if
they wished, to put before the public infe-
rior goods under false guise.

II. e. GOGGINGs,
1.-THE Plaza Drug Store" 90I j Street,
between Ninth and Tenth.


This old landmark of pioneer times.
the "Plaza Drug Store" still stands as a
monument of the flush times of California,
when the "prairie schooners," with their
twelve. in. hand, were the great transporta-
ton agencies, and used to occupy the plaza
in front of this establishment. The gen.
eral absence of physicians in those days
placed upon druggists the work of often
prescribing as well as compromising medi-
cipes for the multitude of miners and
teamsters who nightly encamped in the
vicinity. This gave to the " Plaza Drug
Store" great prominence in early times,
and it acquired reputation by the skill
exercised in the preparation of medicines
for man and for horses which extended far
and near, even to the remotest mining
camps. To-day the drug store of R. E.
Goggings, beautifully located as overlooking
the modern plaza has the fullest general as
sortment of drugs, medicines and all articles
pertaining to the apothecary's art, together
with toilet and showcase articles in very
great variety and of rich display. The
proprietor is specially noted for the purity
and quality of the many preparations
which he prepares. Among them is Cog.
gings' California Rheumatic Cure, which,
it is claimed, surpasses all other rene
dies for the cure Of rheumatism. His
ague remedies also hold similar pc.
sition, and during the last year the sales
by retail have exceeded over 5000 boxes.
Some of his other medicines are Syrup
of Horehound, Iron Tonic Bitters. Goggings'
Sarsaparilla, Vegetable Liver Pills, West
India Hair Tonic, Poison Oak Ointment,
Corn Cure, ETC., which are all carefully put
up by him and sold as Goggings' Prepare
tions. Among his stock of toilet articles
and perfumeries are found the choicest Sc
lections of French, German and American
goods. Mr.. Goggings purchases his stock
for cash from the manufacturers and East
ern jobbing houses, owns his business prop
erty, pays no rent, and is thus enabled to
give the full benefit of these advantages in
low prices to his customers and the trade,
which his constantly increasing business
shows is fully appreciated

Success is the attainable desire of all who
embark upon the business sea of life !;
many fail in the attempt, but those who
succeed feel that they have reached the
goal of triumph. Such has been the case
of two young mechanics who launched
forth their unsteady craft in June, 1880.
They have satisfied themselves that the
secret to true success is satisfaction to
succeed they fail to understand that so to
do they must be honest and fair in all their
dealings. Misfortunes cannot last. It is
far better to make Roadway slowly, than
to rush beadiong into the abyss of rapid
riches gained in other ways than through
the true channels. The young firm to
whom we refer to is Messrs. Scott and
Muir, of 303 street. These gentlemen
are practical in every way, well known to
all, and favorably known to parties for
whom they have worked. Thomas Scott,
the senior member of the firm, besides
being thorough mechanic, has sufficient
business qualities to conduct the business
in a manner that is anything but extrav-
agant, but still substantial. Andrew
]. Muir is one of the best plumbers upon
the coast. He it is who personally su.
perintended the many large contracts that
have been awarded this firm. The thor
ough manner in which he performs his
work makes him very popular with the
builders. This firm is about finishing the
plum bling and gas-ftting upon the hand
some mansion of L. Williams, which
for superiority of workmanship cannot be
surpassed. They have no hesitancy to
warrant and guarantee all their new work
for two years. They figure upon a fair
profit on all their work, with the under
standing that satisfaction will be guaran-
teed, and that they are here to stay, and
cannot afford to make any mistakes. 1t
is acknowledged by all who have exam.
ined their elegant stock of gas.fxtures
that for taste they cannot be excelled.
They import direct from the factory all
their goods. Being satisfied to order in
small lots they are enabled to keep the
constant changing styles of design in
these goods in stock. Their prices upon
fixtures are lower than any house in San
Francisco; and parties who labor under
the impression that they cannot be suited
anywhere but in San Francisco should
call and examine their tasty stock before
purchasing elsewhere.
