The firm of Holman, Stanton & Co, one
of the leading houses of Sacramento, COM
menced business in this city in a small
corner storeroom at Second and streets,
only four years ago this month, with but
very modest pretensions, but determined
that with meritorious goods, which would
stand competition, to build up trade.
The agricultural implements handled by
them were found in all cases to fully an
swer the representations of the firm and
the entire wants of their customers, and
they therefore rapidly gained a substantial
trade. The quarters chosen at their small
beginning gradually became crowded,
until after passing through q series of
movements for securing from time to time
necessary storage room for their increasin 2
business, they have at last, during the past
season, removed TO the spacious building
and storerooms formerly occupied by Mar.
Gus Hawiey 4 Co., on ] street. between
Second and Third. Here they have every
facility desired by them for storage,
and enabling them to display their
goods to the satisfaction of pur-
chasers. The storeroom for agricultural
implements, hardware, ETC., has 60 feet
frontage and extends back to the alley-a
distance OF 100 feet under a single roof,
with basement of the same size. The lat
ter is packed full OF implements and stock
carried by them. The main floor is cccu-

many ways. In mowers, the Empire mower
and the new mower, the Buckeye, are sold
by them but the former they claim has
proved itself TO be the best in the market,
and its sales has been so great as to be al.
most beyond parallel. OF the articles of

chilled pillow is, however, the great leader
of this house, and the increase of It's sales
seems to have assumed an almost reslstless
pace. 1t is made at South Bend, Ind., and
Holman, Stanton & Go. have the exclusive
agency for California. They have sold
about 10, 600 during the past three years,
and the sale this winter has been far greater
than ever before. A new and wonderful
invention has just been made by the Oliver
Piow Company in what they call the Cas-
saday sulky plow. 1t is made in both
sulky and gang plows, and is creating
sensation among plowmen. The great
feature of it is that il has no land slide,
that hitherto indispensable part being done
away with, and an inclined wheel, that runs
in the bottom Of the previous turrow, is
made to perform the duties of the discarded
piece, with an astonishing increase in draft.
They guarantee that it will pillow twenty
six inches OF ground, and do good work,
with the same draft as twenty inches turned
by land side plow. Holman, Stanton &
Co. are agents for the GIidden barbed fenc.
ing wire, both painted and galvanized, of
all the popular styles, double and four
point, and thick set
