great inducements to the milling industry
and no locality in the State is better
adapted to fulfill all the requirements OF
this enterprise, already well represented.
Its central location, the gateway to the
northern grain producing area of the State,
whose outlet, the Sacramento River, pre-
sents an avenue of cheap transportation
unsurpassed by any, and taken in conjunc-
ton with the cheapest motive power in the
United States, should insure the establish
ment of milling plants that will render
Sacramento second TO none.
The lumber-planing mills and box fac
tories of this city are already source OF
great revenue, which will be largely en-
HANGED by the extensive plant of the
American Land and Lumber Company,
situated at Folsom, whose yearly output
must center in Sacramento. This is an
entirely new enterprise, originated in con-
junction with the Electric Power Company,
and whose yearly log drive down the tur-
bulent current of the American River con-
slst of millions of feet of the clearest sugar
pine lumber taken from a district of
virgin pine forests which have never be-
fore echoed the rink of the woodman's s ak
or the buzz of the crOSscut saw.
This successful enterprise, already cross
ing the threshold of completion, has been
projected on an extensive basis that will
successfully vie with any other of like
nature on the entire Pacific slope. 1t has
cost millions; it viii produce millions. Its
cost came from other localities; its pro-
ductions will in the main benefit this To-
cality.
The brewing plants of Sacramento are an
industry well worthy of mention, as their
output is becoming popular throughout
the known world and compares favorably
as a beverage with the brewery produc-
tions OF all countries This industry gives
attracts hundreds of thousands of dollars
OF outside capital to this city yearly in ex-
change for its products.
The meat-packing interests OF Sacra-
mento offer vast avenue for the invest
ment of capital, and already possess
extensive plants, whose productions are
becoming well known throughout the en-
tire country.
On the outskirts OF the city there is an
industry which is more than an important
factor in the furtherance of the city's
growth and an added incentive to the
establishment OF manufacturing interests
at this point, as it insures an abundance of
building material at rates as low, if not
lower, than can be procured elsewhere
the brick-making industry. In one yard
alone are produced nearly 80, 600 600 bricks
annually, and all the modern appliances
are possessed by the owners OF the plant to
manufacture any grade of this building
material desired and in any quantity.
Among the industries that are bringing
Sacramento into prominence among the
fruit and vine growers of the State is the
Capital Nursery, owned and personally
conducted by NJ. n. Williamson, one Of
the city's most energetic young business
men, and whose products are always in
demand.
The fruit-canning industry is largely
represented in this city and affords in sea-
son employment to hundreds OF women
and children, but there is ALWAYS room in
this field for the Introduction of capital
with a certainty of abundance of material
at reasonable rates which will yield fair
return on investments.
These are but very few of the i'm
portant industries located at this fav-
ored point, and still there is room
for others, abundance of room, with
