Whittier, Fuller & Co. began business in
California il lS49, having had prior expe-
rience at the East in the business Of deal
ing in paints, oils, glass. etc. Since the
pioneer era it has been under one manage
ment. 1t is probably the most widely
known paint, oil and glass house on the
Pacific slope, as it certainly is the largest.
ONE FAMILIAR
With the affairs and trade Of this house
not long since thus wrote Of it: 1t has
been and is managed by men who have
been actuated by the one grand idea-the
establishment and building up Of first
class business, and the placing of it in as
independent position as possible by the in
PRODUCTION of home manufacturing, thereby
freeing it from Eastern influences aud en-
bargoes The rapid increase OF this indus
try, and its permanent and successful es-
tablishment by thoroughly legitimate bust
ness, labor and progression, has thus be-
come the great work of men who have
"never let up" The proud results are
now as gratifying to themselves and friends
as it is marvellous to the managers of East.

THIS HOUSE
Gave the first check to importation by
successfully silvering large mirrors and
then small mirrors, and next IN manufact-
uring and canning paints, and next in
putting up mixed paints, and at the last
they achieved browning triumph in the
corroding and grinding in large quaint
ties (some 800 tons per month) of pi-
oneer lead, the purest, finest ground and
best white lead that any market of the
world can produce. The house carries in
its exceedingly large and elegant store
rooms of three stories in hight, vast
stock of oils of all descriptions, varnisk-
es, artists materials, decorative oil sup
plies, fine paintings and engraviDgs, all
manner of fine holdings, great stock of
doors, windows, blinds, weights, sash
cord, etc. and of the woodwork stock the
greater part is of Whittier, Fuller & Co. s
own manufacture. They give especial at.
tention to the coal oil business. In wall.
paper and wall-decorations their stock is
not surpassed, and the Sacramento and
San Francisco houses of the firm carry the
largest stock in those lines of the best class
of wall paper goods known to the coast
trade.
IN THE SEVERAL BRANCHES
OF their extensive business they have in
employment only the most skilled work.
men. They deal largely in fancy goods as
represented in the lines of decorative art,
such as the finest of plaques, panels, ilu-
minated holiday and gift cards, foreign
paintings and engravings, easels ano art
novelties generally. The trade of the house
is widespread and extends throughout all
the area west of the Rocky Mountains, and
not small degree east of that chain
They are not only manufacturers but direct
importers, and they are in constant receipt
of goods by ship and rail. In glass their
stock Is one of great variety and extent
The trade, on inquiry, will find that this
being the moderately expensive point for
doing business-the difference of freight,
and of the time it takes to fill orders, the
favorable time for the arrival of the mails,
and the unlimited facilities of the firm for
shipping oils, etc., oftener-assure them
of their advantageous business position and
superior ability to answer all demands, and
of their consequent continued business.
LOUIS sLOSs q Co.,
Dealers In Hides, sheepskins, Beer and
Goat skins, TalIOw, Etc Front and L
Streets,
This is one of the Oldest and best known
firms in the State. 1t has its location in
San Francisco as headquarters, but its
largest branch or representative agency is
in this city, and of which E. Hammond,
one of the skilled buyers of hides and an
old dealer therein, is manager. During
the year 1882 the business was very pros.
porous, and broadened in area and increased
in volume. The house has a very large
storeroom at Front and L streets, and a
curing establishment in another part of the
city. 1t is the largest buyer of hides and
pelts in the State. Hides, sheepskins,
deer skins, goat skins and tallow generally
come to hand in small lots, and not suffi.
GENTLY cured. This necessitates the estab.
lishment of receiving houses for curing and
grading, and preparing for Eastern and
California markets. Sheepskins and tallow
for long time found but little market
hers, but Louis Sloss & Co. some years
since engaged in the purchase of tallow
very largely at this point, and shipping it
hence to all sections where the market
called for it. This branch of the business
has become now one of the important fac.
tors in the trade of the city. The reasons
for the conduct of the business under
notice here are obvious, and include the
centrality of the city, the ease of transit
to it and the rapidity with which goods
can be handled here, and they make it
specially advantageous point for the bust
ness of the firm. Butchers are enabled to
forward hides with the least loss of time,
to ship them day ahead of their own
start for this city, and on their arrival
meet their goods here and get their cash
for them at once. Prompt returns, saving
of frei2hts, etc., are important items also
to butchers and dealers in the surrounding
country, and are fully appreciated by all
who trade with the house. The shipment
from here East is at less cost than from San
Francisco, and this enables the house to
buy at rates which advantage the seller
greatly, for he saves the cost of freight
from Sacramento to San Francisco-th0se
two places being the chief points of the
business.
