BACON AND COMPANY.
The Leading Printing House of the
Pacific Coast.

1t is no eXaggeration to say that when
ever printing is mentioned in California,
the mind of the nearer intutively calls up
the name of Bacon & Co.. for this firm has
been identified with this most important
branch of mechanics since the spring of
1858, period of over forty years.
Yet there is nothing ''siluran" about
the concern, in business methods or style
of workmanship. They are ever 10 the
van. cup with the times" both in material
and treatment. Their general mercantile
work is unsurpassed for its uniform excel
lence. their promptness and reliability
need no praise from us. "0n time. every
time" adopted as their motto. is lived up
to cOnscientiously, and can be main tanned
only by promising no more than they can
perform.
Said the publisher of leading weekly
some years ago to the senior partner, after
having been induced by the lower price of
competitor to leave them for time: II
cannot tell how glad / am TO get back to
your office. Hardly an issue of my paper
has been put out since we left your office
without some deficiency, for which ex-
cuses had to be made"
The firm are all-round printers, and
make no class of work specially; but
take their greatest pride in those higher
grades of book and magazine work where
taste and skill alone can produce salts
factory results. The exquisite workman
ship on the beautiful brochure of w. E.
Brown, entitled Jack and .Jill," issued
last Christmas time. as also the monthly
numbers of the Overland Magazine, con-
fessedlv the leader in its field on this coast,
attest The skill of its operatives, and the
intelligent supervision of every detail con-
duclng TO produce perfect whole.
Bacon d Co. control the manufacture of
valuable specially for California in the
BARLOW Manifold Shipping Receipt book"
by which three or more receipts can be
made with one writing. This book Is the
best of its kind ever produced, and easily
'holds its own" in spite of limitations that
have been persistently pushed by Compel
ltors. Our merchants know good thing
when they see it.
This house also has the sale for Calfor-
MIA of very superior copying-book, en-
titled "Chadwick Improved Copying
book" of which merchant writes:
II have used copying books for more than
thirty wears OF many names. but l will
never use other than the Chadwick since
It's superiority las become so apparent"
For many years the firm made a special
effort to encourage the boys and girls of
this city in learning trade by the en-
ployment of as many apprentices as they
could conveniently instruct These were
not left to pick up" what thew could of
knowledge. but they were faithfully taught
the BUSINESS from the ground up. All over
the coast may be found capable and sue
cessful printers who were trained at Ba-
con 81 Co.'S, or Towne & Bacon's. their
predecessors, and who are proud that they
graduated from so thorough school.
To old residents the remarks herein
made are superfluous. They know this

and, acting upon them, patroniZe a firm
