Sacramento daily record-union., 1890-09-19
state Fair Notes,

Mention was yesterday given the enter
prising firm of Scott & Gilbert, and as al
ready stated, while not making sn exhibit
at the Pavilion. special invitation is ex.
tended to test the celebrated Top Notch
tonic. The peculiar combination of RENE
dial agents used in the preparation of Top
Notch tonic is the result of much expert
ment, the object being TO produce prepe-
ration OF sterling merit, from which imme-
diate benefits might be obtained, and al
the same time avoid the use of drastic and
harmful drugs so often used in remedies of
this class Possessing all the virtues Of
Peruvian bark, together with other vege-
table remedies having q direct but gentle
action upon the liver and kidneys, Top
Notch tonic is pre- eminently the remedy
for malaria and all kindred diseases. Slim
ula;ing and toning up the stomach, liver
and kidneys, it enables these organs TO
properly perform their functions, and al
lows them to discharge their secretions
through their proper channels, which
otherwise retained in the system produce a
multitude OF distressing and serious COM
plants.
There is an exhibit in the fair that, while
it is one full of rich suggestion, touching
staple articles of life, does not indicate the
full importance of one of the chief indus
tries of the capital city it represents. We
refer to the display made by Mohr d Yoerk,
pork packers, Gamers and meat curers OF
Sacramento. Their exhibit IS toothsome
one but conveys only faint idea OF the
magnitude of the business. At Eleventh
and J streets they have an immense pack
ing establishment, lofty and broad and fire
proof and fitted with every appliance
known to mechanics and science for curing
meats, canning animal food, picking, etc.
Here they make tons of ice daily, not for
sale, but solely for their own use in re-
frigerating. They have costly steam
plant and it operates machinery OF the
latest and most improved pattern for their
business. They do an immense butcher
ing business also, and while supplying
more largely than any others the local de-
mand, they have vast wholesale shipping
trade. The celebrated Our Taste Hams"
are cured at this great factory, and the cur
ing of meats prosecuted by the firm IS the
only manufacturing industry of that order
in the interior of the State. The firm is
composed of generous, enterprising citi-
zens, who believe in investment in large
business enterprises. While they control
large capital and are related 10 several other
industries, they are to be found actively
and imm edigtely employed in the great
Eleventh and ] street establishment The
products of that place form large part of
the commerce of the city and enter into ell
her trade area. The centrality of Sacra-
mento, her many radiating lines OF trans
portation, the loWness of land values, so
that heavy capital need not be locked up in
property; the rapidity with which orders
can be filled from this center, all contribute
to make Mohr Il Yoerk's business con-
stantly expanding one, reaching now from
the waist of the State to Washington, on
the north and to the territorial areas on the
west and south, as well ss the whole of the
great Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys,
and the Sierra and foothill regions
Judging from the throng who nightly
congregate about the display Of L. E. Nc
Mahsn & Sons, Droprietors of the ceie-
brated Bartlett Springs, one will naturally
conclude that the exhibit and the samples
of water so freely dispensed, have proven
an attraction worthy of mention. Christian
son, Diersen & Co, of this city, who are the
local agents, furnish the following brief,
but eulogistic, testimonials Of this famous
water:
