This house is a branch of the parent
house in San Francisco. 1t was established
here two years ago, because the firm saw
advantages in Sacramento as prom
Using and growing trade center which
wisdom babe il avail of. These are, that
while here its goods can be sold at level
rates with the San Francisco house, they can
be shipped easier, and orders for the east
ern and upper country can be filed from
two to three days sooner. The purchaser
has neither carriage nor wharfage, and saves
the cost of the freight paid between San
Francisco and Sacramento. Besides, there
are two oil.shipping days now from Sacra-
mento, when before there was but one. T.
81. Forester, the experienced manager OF
the Sacramento branch, reports that the
years trial has demonstrated these advan-
tages, and that the success of the house
here has even exceeded expectation. The
firm carries full lines of paints, oils, glass,
varnishes, brushes, artists supplies, coal
and lubricating oils, in barrels or cases,
and the largest stock of turpentine ever
stored in the interior at one time. Itdesls
also in white leads, lard oil, castor oil, lin.
seed oils, China nut oil, sperm oil. polar
oil, elephant oil, natural black lubricating
oil of 49, to 23' gravity; also Cologne
spirits, naphtha, "a gasoline, So benzine,
salad oil, Downer's kerosene, Downer's
mineral sperm, Downer's machinery
oil, Downer's spindle oil, paraffine
machinery oil, light lubricating oil,
cotton waste, and Standard axle grease.
A speciality with this firm is alcohol.
Being the owner and proprietors of the
Bay View Distillery at San Francisco, it
has facilities and opportunities for handling
alcohol that NO other house enjoys. Since
our last report, one year ago, Messrs. Sco-
field & Tevis have been compelled to seek
larger and more commodious quarters to
enable them to meet the requirements of
their increasing trade. This they have done
by the erection of new building at q cost
OF SIS, O00 1t is located on the east side
of Second street, between / and j, having
a frontage on the street of 40 feet and q
depth of 100 feet. The building is two
stories in hight with basement of ten
feet. In the center of the room, II by 40
feet has been partitioned and fitted for use
as offices. This contains the managers
and bookkeeper's desks, and also the pri-
vate Office. The furniture and desks are
of black walnut, and is claimed to be the
most elegant and extensively fitted up
office in the city. The new building is GER
tainly credit to the energy of the firm,
and is one which will compare favorably
with other store buildings in Sacramento,
being one of the largest in the city occupied
entirely by one firm as place of business.
The firm has large capital, long expe-
rience, and is one of the leading houses in
the commercial circle of the State. As
such it has broad reputation for fair deal
ing, excellence of goods and price-list offers
to the trade of the coast an equivalent to
quoting the very lowest market rates for
any articles in which the firm deals.
