The Granite and the Marble.
All the granite and the marble work in
this magnificent building was done and
| placed by Carlaw Bros. of Sacramento.
| It is sufficient TO say that in every re-
| spect it is first-class work from the foun-
dations of granite to the finest finished
marble work. The firm has done moth
| ing but superior work. as the most su-
/ perficial observer, who passes through
| the building, will readily see.
Carlaw Bros. began business in Saera-
mento something over twelve years ago
in small way. They are now among
the largest granite and marble workers
in the State, and they are the only firm
IN the interior having and operating
complete machines for polishing and
saving. They have at Loomis, Placer
County, fine granite quarry for their
own use, and from which they do not
sell. They employ twenty men con-
stantly upon granite alone.
They do every description of granite,
marble and sandstone work, both for
walkWayS, fences, buildings, monu-
mental and ornamental purposes They
pride themselves, justly, upon the ele-
gance and originality of their designs.
They did all the granite work upon the
new Postofice building. and viii do the
sandstone work also. They executed the
granite work on the Catholic Cathedral,
and the principal portion on the most
prominent buildings in the city erected
in the last decade.
They have done monumental work
upon an extensive scale for Colonel Creed
Raymond, ex-senator VIM. Johnston

granite work may be seen in the Stevens

The firm has very extensive works on

their influence in the business world. be-
ing progressive, liberal, prompt and thor
ough-going.
The Mill Work.
In no part OF this stupendous building.
where excellence and thoroughness are
manifest on all sides, is there better evil
dence of high skill in workmanship than
in the mill work, the moldings. scroll
work, panels, doors, carving, counters.
stair rails, windows, brackets, and fin
lShed ornamental woodwork of all kinds.
All this work, all the mill work, without
exception, was furnished by HartweQ.
Hotchkiss q Stalker, proprietOrs of the
extensive mandatory known as the
Sacramento Planning Mill, which is stu
ated at the corner Of Front and @ streets
in this city.
Y ears and years ago it was the pleasing
duty Of the writer of this sketch, in col
IatIng facts concerning the growing busi-
ness OF the capital city, to make note Of
the establishment of Messrs. Hartwell.
Hotchkiss d& Stalker.
He has watched the course of the firm,
and the methods of its business. from
year TO year, and only reflects the COM
mon verdict in saying that no house
stands higher, no mandatory turns ont
better work, or is more faithful and true
TO the promise of its proprietors, and that
not cltlZen IN Sacramento stands in bet
ter estimation than the three sterling men
of the firm who did the mill work for the
hnest mercantile establishment on the
PacIhc COaSt-that under notice This
same firm has furnished mill work for
nearly all the principal buildings in the
city for the last twenty years.
In that list of principal buildings is in
cluded the State Capitol, where some of
the very best examples of mill work
known to the mechanic art are to be
found. But the work of this firm is not
confined to local area. On the contrary,
II Is TO De found throughout the interior
OF the state IN all directions, for the trade
area OF Sacramento extends across the
mountains into the Territories, north into
Oregon and south into Arizona. In all
this broad domain where Sacramento
trade extends the work of the Sacra-
mento Planning Mill goes. In this climate
Of dry atmosphere the conditions are
peculiarly favorable for such woodwork

Stalker engage ina fact builders will
fully appreciate, as also the fine, quick
and cheap TRANSPORTATION by rail and
water that this city enjoys.
The Sacramento Planning Mill gives con-
slant employment to from twenty-five to
thirty skilled workers. 1t has all the best
and latest machinery and facilities for

order and the highest excellence.
The Artistic.
The approach to any great structure
has very much to do with the effect it
produces upon the mind. So It is
with the beautiful building of Wein-
stock, Lubin 81 Co. tt would have been
saving of money, to be sure, to have
left the great stretch Of arcade shelter be-
hind the eight broad arches in front IN
decorated.
In this case, however, we find tba
arcade for its entire length of I40ffeet
from the ground to the latest corner of
the lofty ceilings, richly finished in deco
rative art. The work was done in!I.in-
crusta Walton, with shaded effects ia a
variety of colored bronzes. The wood
work above and below is grained in q
manner that challenges the admiration of
every one OF artistic perceptions and cul-
tivated tastes.
All this work, which must speak for IL
self, and to be fully appreciated In its
paneled beauty and chaste designs. was
done by the accomplished fresco painter
and decorative artist, L. w O'NeiI, That
