Card to the Public.

Present unreasonable prices in the Sash g.
Door Factories compel us to buy machinery
of our own to protect us against loss on our
contracts; and while we are doing our own
work we will be prepared to furnish all those
wishing to build, all Of the material usually
found in such places, such as sash, doors,
blinds, mouldings, window frames, door
frames. and in fact everything necessary in
the finishing of a building. Its well known
fact that the present building boom in some
places has prompted the factory owners to
put prices where they are unreasonable and
oppressive. We do not propose to hide be-
hind these booming prices aud tell you that
you cannot do any better. We propose to
sell you goods for what it costs to manufac-
ture them here. We do not propose to buy
cedar at from S12 to $50 per thousand and
ask you $75 for it. We will keep full line
of California goods on hand all the time.
We expect to have our machinery ready to
set up by the 10th Of next month.

New York paper says:
The silk industry in this country
now seems entering upon phase not
contemplated by the associations
formed within the past four years to
encourage its culture. Itstead of be-
ing carried on by women and children,
companies are being organized on a
large scale, with liberal capital, and
large tracts of land are being purchased
for mulberry plantations. Several
have already been located in different
parts of the south, and another has
been formed in this city to begin oper-
atoms in the fall at Tampa, Florida.
Even as far north as Utica, in this
state, trees have been set out the past
spring, a new variety of mulberry,
which it is expected will stand the
climate well. We are told there are
at this time in the United States 25,-
OOO persons engaged In silk culture.
