Great Extent of the Glass Work.
What must forcibly impress every vis-
itor to the Weinstock, Lubin & Co. build
ing is the enormous amount of glass used
in its construction. It's openings are so
numerous and so large, its skyIiphts so
many and ample, and It's mammoth show
windows such great spreads of plate
glass, that the building comes very near
being crystal palace.
AL this immense quantity of glass was
furnished by the firm of Whittier. Fuller
& Co. of Sacramento the largest paint
oil and glass house on the Pacific Coast
and probably in the United States. The
contract TO supply all this glass was the
largest ever filed in Sacramento, except
that for supply of the State Capitol. and
which, by the way, was fitted out in glass
by the same firm, which also furnished the
TIQGG fNnHrntr,Ny.
In fact the firm has supplied nearly all
large buildings, both residence and busi-
ness, IN this city, with the glass neces-
sary.
All the glass furnished the building,
now under notice, was from stock on
hand, excepting only the bent glass, which
was obtained from Europe. This will
enable some idea to be formed of the
extensive character of the business
house of Whittier, Fuller d Co.. and of
the large capital invested in the business.
The firm, it may here be stated, through
IT'S San francisco house, is now doing the
glass work on the d. o. Mills building
IN process of construction in that CITY. 1t
is the largest glass contract ever filled on
the coast, amounting to S5l 600 in value.
The firm also have the contract for the
glass for the Crocker estate building in
San Francisco

clllties for .silver-glazing and beveling
that are not even rivaled by any other
house. They are the only firm on the
coast, indeed, that can do the work in
first-class style. They employ thirty
men constantly in this one department of
their business alone
Nearly all the plate glass mirrors now
sold upon the Pacific Coast are manu-
featured by Whittier, Fuller 81 Co., prin-
clpallY because the houseis so capacitated
that 1t can manufacture cheaper than the
cost OF importation of such goods
1he firm furnished all the paints, oils
and varnlshes for the Weinstock, Lubin
Co. building, and this leads us to say
that 1t is largely engaged in varnish sup
plies and in traffic in illuminating and
all other kinds of oils, as also in paper
hangings of every description, holdings,
engravings, art bric-a-brac, artists ma
terials.
The house of Whittier, Fuller & Co.
was established in Sacramento forty years
ago, and has never ceased to expand its
capacity, augment its capital or broaden
the area of its trade. It is to-day the
largest wholesale establishment in Sacra-
mento. Probably there is no firm that
mas, throughout the State, larger patron
age, or that reaches out farther from this
trade center.
