HAS HANDLED FOUR MILLIONS.

have been detailed to inquire from few
of the leading merchants of the City what
they think of joys Vegetable Sarsaparllla.
May ask what your name is 2"
my name is Hans Gullixson, he re-
piled.
"You are a member of the frm?"
queried.
II am. sir.''
"Do you know anything of this
remedy2"
Il do, for 1 have used it,
Now, will you please tell me. Mr.. Gull
lixson, what your candid opinion Is as to
its merits or dement's. Ii it has done you
any good tell me SO; if you have not found
it a satisfactory remedy also please state
that fact, and just tell me in the way
you would talk for publication, for shall
quote your own words"
"Well, " replied Mr.. Gullixson, II have
used joys Vegetable SarsaparIlla, prefer
ring 1t to all others, and | have found it ex-
ceptionally good as spring medicine, but
in addition to that it has undoubtedly
helped my kidneys. / don't imagine that
it is cure-all. nor do l suppose that it is
sold as such, but am certain (as | speak
from my own experience) that 1t has toned
my stomach up. and done good deal to
help alslight kidney affection from which
| suffered. 1t is in my opinion most ex-
cellent remedy, and l have no hesitation
whatever in indorsing it IL the highest
way" Now, that is a plain, straightfor-
ward statement of the experience of one OF
the incest and cleanest business men in
San Francisco.
The firm of Gullixson & Bros. has no
cardboard" reputation. Since its estab-
hshment some eighteen years ago 1t has
been their constant endeavor to sell ex-
actly the class of goods which they repre-
sented that they carried. The millionaire
and the man of moderate means alike
appreciate the treatment which they re-
ceive at the hands of this excellent con-
Germ. Your purse will possibly be able to
afford pure Brussels carpet. If it does.
there is no better place to go for it than
Gullixson's. That is generally admitted,
but even should you feel tina. it would be
extravagant to get anything dearer than
common mating you may go to 800 Market
street with the same confidence, and you
will find that you get as good treatment as
does the man who has pocketful of money
to spend.
THE MAN WHO HAS HANDLED FOUR MILLIONS.
Four millions of dollars is larger sum
of money than one can appreciate well.
1t would even take long time to count in
one hundred dollar bills; still that and
possibly IL ore is the amount of coin which
Mr.. Solomon, the well-known wholesale
and retail butcher, whose immense place
extends from 969 TO 979 Market street, has
passed through his hands during the time
that he has been in business in the City.
But large sums of money do not disturb
Mr.. Solomon. He is a man OF capacity or
his vast interests would scarcely be SO we'll
looked after as they are by him. He at
tends personally to all the smallest de-
tails. and while his meats stand positively
higher in the market (not higher IN price,
than do those of any other large dealer, he
has been enabled to place his business on
such basis that he can cater equally we'll
to all classes of meat-buyers. Asked as to
his opinion of joys Vegetable Sarsapar-
lila Mr.. Solomon said: '' always patron
ize home products, but in the instance
of which you speak l should patronize
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, whether it
was home product or not, unless there
was Californian sarsaparilla which could
claim to be equally good, and it would
have TO substantiate its claims, too," he
continued, ''for | do not believe that there
is anything of its nature that is equal to
the home rem edy, as you call it. Friends
good blood purifier. They say it is a
good spring medicine, and they tell me it
is good for dyspepsia, too. and l quote
these expressions Of opinion from people
whom l can trust. Why, indeed, some of
them l could trust with my checkbook.
'Shal l commend it, and do / commend
it? Why, most certainly" And then
this genial purveyor of many of the good
things to be found in the world turned to
busy himself about one of the many varied
interests that occupy his capacious mind
from day to day.
IN ]. REID's CozY SHOP.
After leaving ''the man of millions" /
''tacked ship as the mariner puts it, and
started toward the ferry. | was attracted
BY the face of a somewhat benevolent look
ing gentleman standing in the door of the
tailor-shop, 907 Market street. There were
some rare, pretty patterns to be seen and |
fingered for moment, then of sudden it
struck me that / had better be doing what
1 was paid for doing than gazing at spring
styles, which, cheap as they possibly might
be, could have no possible interest for me,
the bank account being lacking. Why
should | not interview Mr.. Reid, who
owned the pretty suitings which had at
tracted my attention? And one query
ELECTED the fact that he was the kindly
faced gentleman to whom my attention,
too, had been drawn.
"Mr. Reid" l began, will you please
tell me as to whether you ever used JOY s
Vegetable Sarsaparilla?"
81 have not, he said.
s'Do you know anything about it, as to
whether it is good remedy o. bad one?'
81 have heard it spoken of a good deal
but don't think could Justly give you an
opinion as to Its merits.n Standing OPP
posite to him was tall gentlemanly look
ing man with a light auburn mustache,
exceptionally well-diessed, with a good
humored smile on bis countenance, and
the bearing of much travelled man. He
interjected: "Mr. Reid, don't you know
anything of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla :?
You will pardon my interrupting you
when you were talking TO a newspaper
man, but if you know nothing of it, am
afraid that | will have to confess that you
are not quite as well informed as sup
posed you to be-" Mr.. Reid did not resent
the interruption at all. He said. ''I was
simply telling the gentleman who was in
terviewing me the truth
s'That is all wish you to dol put in.
'.Well," continued the handsome man. II
don't care to be quoted in this matter, but
am travelling salesman. My business
takes me from New York to this Coast
three or four times year and have heard
even on the cars Joys Vegetable Sarsapa-
rilla spoken of in the highest terms. What
do they say about it? They say it is the
best tonic, and the best cure for that tired
feeling in the world. Tired feeling is
very old expression and gentlemen of
the road are not supposed to indulge
IN anything stale, but | tell you
that there is such a thing as a
tired feeling and | am fair enough to
admit that T bavo h ~ v,,oro - -, 90 hov,
