to call up f1oor-walkers, heads of depart

a Beautiful Exhibition.
While the architecture of the yWein-
stock, Lubin & Co. building is imposing
in all respects. and while its interior, by
its loftiness, graceful lines and chaste or
namentation, gratifes the cultivated
taste, upon every floor there is special
workmanship of a fine order that rivals
the building, and excites the liveliest ex-
carnations of approval from all visitors.
We refer to the beautiful show cases
that meet the eye on every hand. These
are of all forms conceivable, nearly
uprights, arched, flat, half-curved, cabi-
nets, and so on, in an infinity of variety,
that we cannot in our limited vocabulary
find terms to describe. Of course G.
Suter, the maker of these handsome arti-
cles OF snowy furniture, could give us
the name of the trade for each one, but
we prefer to refer TO them in our own
way, and without consultation with him.
Much of the handsome shelving and
many of the cases and tables are also
from his establishment at Thirteenth and
j streets.
Mr.. Suter began his business in very
small way, some fifteen years ago, con-
tent to prove his capacity by degrees. He
had, besides, to compete with all the
great showcase manufacturers OF the
East, and those of San Francisco also,
Besides, 1t was necessary to educate our
own people up to full realization of the
fact that as good work, as artistically de-
signed, and as finely finished cases can be
built right here in Sacramento as any
where else.
This he has done, and now, having won
| deserved recognition, he operates large
mandatory in Sacramento, from which
he turns out metal and wood frame cases
of all styles, and all kinds of finish, coun-
terss, tables and shelving. pigeon-holes
and desks and the like, and completes
with ease with all rival markets.
His business has increased to such an
extent, that the ten different departments
of his mandatory cover an area 264
by 302 feet of ground. His success has
been the result of merit, purely, solely.
Hls Workmanship is to be seen, as we
have stated, in wonderful and every
varying style in the Weinstock, Lubin IL
Co.'s establishment, and it speaks for
itself. Nothing neater, richer, better or
in more exquisite taste in show cases has
ever been sent from American or
European factories. To prove that we do
not in the slightest respect exaggerate.
we point to the exhibit in the building
under consideration.
Mr.. Suter supplies all leading contrac-
tors with planning and turning work.
all kinds of which his establishment is
capable Of He carries an immense stock
of materials, and all of the best; he en-
ployes steadily from twenty five to thirty
i've skilled workmen, and himself super
intends every construction and every lot
of goods turned out.
Mr.. Suter's business is so expanding
that he is need of still greater room in
which to operate, and where he can plant
still more improved machinery, for he is
now shipping abroad the products of his
manufacture to all parts of the Pacific
Coast.
Indeed. it is not too much to expect
that Suter will make Sacramento man
kind we have referred to, just as one man
has made an Indiana town renowned all
over the Union for its make of house re-
frigerators, and another artisan has made
Michigan town famous for it's output of
furniture, and still another has converted
small Western city into busy manu-
featuring center for chairs of peculiar
and desirable order. Mr.. Suter ought to
have encouragement at home; we should
patronize all such home workmen, and
by so doing help ourselves and our city
by building up home market.
Suter makes @ speciality also of the
manufacture of doors, windows and
screens and all kinds of furniture. He is
widely known for his skill in giving to
his polished work very high finish.
