In reviewing the business interests of
Sacramento City during the past year, the
success and prosperity of this firm deserves
special mention. II. G. Casey and M.
Cronan, both substantial residents of this
city, constitute the firm, which does
wholesale liquor and cigar business, be-
sides manufacturing soda water, all of
which go to make up the principal wants
of their customers in their line of business.
The advantages possessed by this house in
the liquor and cigar trade are those which
capital alone can command, purchasing, as
they do, extensively direct from the dis.
tillers and manufacturers, as instance the
frequency of arrival of carload lots con.
signed to them, which also enables them to
possess the advantage of cheap Transports
ton, very considerable item In the cost of
all goods arriving on this coast by rail.
These advantages being shared with their
customers, accountlargely for thesuccess of
this firm. Without going into detail of

this latter particular during the past year
have increased wonderfully, for by making
their method of business known to men
who had heretofore been purchasing from
Eastern drummers, and had been paying
high rates Of transportation, they found
them easily convinced of the advantage
of dealing with them, not only in the cost
of transportation, but also In the superb
ority of goods. They also carry a large
stock of French wines and cognacs, besides
Scotch and Irish WHISTLES, all of which
they import direct So systematically is
the business of this house conducted that
all orders, no matter how varied, are
promptly filled and forwarded the same
day on which they are received, and the
satisfaction and confidence dealers in the
interior have in dealing with this firm is a
guarantee that the minutest detail is not
neglected. "This house may well be termed
home institution, never sailing under the
experience or business reputation of abb
sent members, for absent members of a
business house, like absent landlords, are a
very Improbable luxury in any commu-
nifty. 1t is a well-known fact that the
principal desire of men of mercantile pur-
suits is to so use their surplus capital that it
may escape its just proportion of the burden
of taxation, and this city has had her full
share of such men. For instance consider
the number of men who made comfortable
fortunes in business in this city and de-
parted with it for some locality where it
could escape the burden of protecting this
city from the downfall considered inevita-
evitable. Casey & Cronan pursue a
very different course, by investing their
capital in this city, where it will share its
Just proportion Of the common burden-an
act which proves conclusiyely that Sacra-
mento is their home and so judicious and
far seeing have been their investments,
both jointly and severally, that the ques.
ton of permanency and stability is beyond
al! doubt"
