A SACRAMENTO INDUSTRY.
Among home enterprises represented at the
Pavilion one of leading Importance is the ex
hibit of the Capitol Packing Company with a
picture of the State Capitol as its trade mark
The county exhibit shows that Sacramento
can raise almost anything and the exhibit OF
! the Packing Company that she can put il in
| shape for the worlds markets.
Sacramento enjoys the advantage OF being
| both producing and distributing center
| with transportation by river and by rail. Tn
and down the Sacramento and American are
the rich bottom lands where fruit and vege
tables can be raised at a minimum cost and
carried to the city in best condition and al
least expense. With these advantages 1t is no
wonder that the Capitol Packing COMPANY
has so quickly built up its great business.
PERFECT VENTILATION.
Among the most interesting exhibits at the
fair, and those suggesting most possibilities
of application, is the neat little room where
Schatfer's ventilating attachment for re-
frigerators is on practical exhibition By free
circulation of cold air from above and
metallic plate to absorb and carry away
moisture the air IS kept so dry that the floor

AN EXHIBITION OF MERIT.
Not ali the most interesting exhibits In Sac
ramento are to be found at the Pavilion or
Park. One that will please quite as well is TO
be found at 600 street. Seven years ago w
f. Purnel came from near Chicago rs a Young
man just starting in the world for himself
with health that required milder climate
than the windy city by the lake. After four
years work in the stationery house of Hougb-
ton Il Co., and three years as clerk of the
school-book department of the State Printing
Office, he began less than two years since in
business for himself, thinking that it would be
long time before he could command the stock
and trade to fill his big sixty-foot store Now
it seems little store, and when others are
complaining of dull times he must plan for
more room.
The secret of this is that he carries MANY
kinds of blank books not kept in stock by
others, a full line of Catholic prayer books
Oxford Bibles, ETC.. and when a customer hap
pens to want something in these odd lines and
finds it at his store, he finds such reasonable
prices and courteous treatment that he keeps
coming. Miscellaneous stationery is found in
large supply, and PurnelI makes q specially
of contracting with school boards for YEARLY
supplies of chalk, pencils, ink, paper, etc.
When it comes to contracting for school IL
braries he wants TO enter for the champion
ship at every contest, as he is something of a
sporting man himself.
