This is one of the oldest established firms
in central California in its line os trade, 1t
having by succession held the trade OF the
house for many years with but slight mod
iiication in the firm title 1t Is one OF the
most prominent liquor houses IN central
and northern California, and has
trade Of the highest charac-
ter and widest extent. This house
being one Of the pioneer establishments
of the city, has been subjected to all the
vicisitudes If which the city has been the
subject 1t has survived community disas-
ter and seasons of commercial depression,
and when Sacramento entered upon its era
of business growth that has now reached
phenomenal proportions, it. was found
in the front rank. This firm enjoys
in peculiar sense the advantages that
flow fron a business location in Sacra-
mento. Ia the first place, IFS centrality
facilitates ease and rapidity of shipment.
Orders can be filed from three to four days
in advance of San Francisco, and to the
purchaser at saving of freight between
Sacramento and San Francisco for ali points
east and north. Again, liquors age better
in this dry climate. Again, they are
stored much cheaper Still again. there
is no charge here for wharfage,
or drayage, and these all combine to enable
Wilcox, Powers & Co. to give their patrons
special advantages. By assiduous atten-
ton to business, honesty and pluck, it has
built up business second to few on the
coast, and certainly second to none in the
northern portion of the State. The firm
makes a speciality Of whiskies, and their
stock aud facilities are. such as to enable
them to sell all grades, either in bond or
! free Ia the East, or from their store in Sac
ramento. The principal and most we'll
known brands are &" Hickory Grove Elk.

! They also carry full line OF cordials,
syrups mineral waters and all goods known
to the trade. IL addition to the above
they are sole agents for Dr. Motifs Wild
Cherry Tonic, aud special agents for the
celebrated African Stomach Btters Their
trade extends through California, Nevada,
/ Oregon and Arizona To the trade their
name is a guarantee of all that is far and
honorable in business. This guarantee
they make good in sill their dealings. In
addition TO the claims so justly set forth
above, there is one other that should be
added to tittingiy conclude this brief re-
view, and that is, their business is con
Quoted here on less fixed capital-witt
less clock up" of money in costly struct
ures, etc.-and hence Wilcox, Powers & Co
can extend whatever they eoioy in thii
particular to those they sell to, IN the shape
Of low prices.
