James l. Felter & Co., the pioneer i'm
porting house of Sacramento in the line of
WHISTLES from Kentucky, cognacs and
champagnes from France, still continue to
take the lead in this line of goods. This
firm does not confine themselves to the
above goods, but are also
LARGELY ENGAGED
In the production of the native California
wines and brandies. They own and con-
troll the largest wineries and brandy dis.
tilleries in Northern California, and are
the largest growers and purchasers of grapes
in the Sacramento valley, and their special
brands are fast becoming noted throughout
the entire country. This frm has been
established for years, and their products
are sent to all the States and Territories.
Their location being in the
GREAT GRAPE GROWING COUNTIES
OF California, and on the line of the trans
continental railways, gives them extra IA
cilities for the shipment of their California
wines and brandies to all points by rail-
Sacramento is centrally located, and the
fact of the Internal Revenue Department
having selected this point for the estab-
lishment of a special bonded warehouse for
the storage of brandy, where it is allowed
to remain under the present law for three
years, gives the location
A PROMINENCE

Messrs. Felter & Co. to-day are the holders
of the largest amount of California brandy

Fashionable Wholesale and Retail Cloth
Ter, No. 600 Street, Southeast Corner.
In all communities of any considerable
commercial importance there are some
houses in each line which take, by common
acknowledgment. leading place. Among
such, in Sacramento, we place the clothing
house OF L. J. Lithauer, for reasons indis-
putable. The house of Mr.. Lithauer draws
its chief supplies from the great manufact-
uring and importing firm of Coleman Bros,
New York, which is also OF the order OF
houses indicated in the opening sentence of
this review, and stands in the front rank as
the leading manufacturing and importing
house of gentlemen's furnishing goods on
the American Continent. This house is
now celebrating the twenty eighth anni-
versary of its splendid career. As Sheffield
makers trade marks are guarantees of the
superiority of English cutlery; as the
stamp and name of "Rogers" gives char
acter to plated ware, so the trademark of
Coleman Bros. on their clothing has at
tanned standard reputation for excellence
all over the Union. Mr.. Lithauer has a
business reputation at stake quite as dear
to him as to Coleman Bros. Thus two in
terests unite to serve this public with we'll
made goods of ell the latest styles and
best material. Mr.. Lithauer has an es-
adjustment in San Francisco slso and has
been in this business for fifteen years, but
the house we have now to deal with is that
in Sacramento, of which Mr.. Heber Wood,
popular and widely known clothier, is
business manager. Lithauers store in Sac.
ramento is one Of the neatest, handsomest
and most genteel establishments in the
State, and this is no fulsome praise. Its
shelves and drawers are stocked with as
full a variety of gentlemen's dress, bust
ness and over suits as is to be found in any
establishment, marked at living prices,
competing with the strongest rival markets,
and inviting the best character of the cloth
ing trade. The same can be said of the
furnishing goods, under and white shirts,
collars, cuffs, articles of personal adorn-
ment, hosiery, gloves and all the varied
line of like supplies found in this house.
