MARKETST. ENTHUSIASTIC
One Days Interviews About the
Great Home Remedy, Joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
A Startling Unanimity of Opinion
Expressed by Many Leading
Merchants.

During an experience of five or six years
of continuous interviewing in this City,
with an idea to secure the most interesting
matter possible for publication in the
great daily papers. l have never come
across such an absolute consensus of
opinion as l found within an hour after
had been detailed to secure opinions as
to the merits of Joys Vegeta BILE Sarsapar-
lila. Ny instructions were plain and to
the point-to take at random any section
of any street not comprising more than
three or four blocks, and, without going
from house to house, to interview as many
people as seemed necessary in order to be
able to form fair judgment as to the gen.
eral opinion as to the various merits of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
OF course it is comparatively easy if you
have a pocketful of money and no con-
science 10 get'all the Endorsements that you
desire for almost anything If you know
where to go, but even then you have to be
careful. For instance, it would scarcely
be wise, without large fee in your pocket
and having made due preparations Tor the
State penitentiary. to approach an expert
assayer with a proposition Tor him to
indorse your sample of the gold brick
think that was a legitimate occupation),
nor would it be wise to go TO the branch
United States Treasury and ask for an
opinion as to the perfection of any specific
make of "green goods" but given few
dollars most of the hard-working and
poorer classes may at most times be in
duced to lend their names to the indorse-
ment of something of which they know
little or nothing. They think it Is harm
less and possibly doing the interviewer
good turn, as they call it. But here
was a uery different proposition-viZ., to
go on the City's principal thoroughfare
and to raightforwardly question half
dozen or more people who are prominent
and well known for their integrity, reli-
ability and general perspicuity.
The result of the queries must convey to
the mind of every unbiased man or woman
the fact that joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
is all that it is claimed to be. 1t could not
be otherwise. In no single instance did
any one of the gentlemen interviewed
express the slightest doubt as to the value
of the remedy. Had one been inquiring as
TO the safety of investing in United States
gold bonds the gentlemen seen could
scarcely have more happily agreed. Indeed,
there was no dissenting voice. and as the
good book hath it, SIN the mouth of many
witnesses shall the truth be established"
And now for the interviews:
WHAT Mr.. P. RosENBURG SAYS.
Strolling into the well-known gentle
mems furnishing goods store of WE'LL &
Beck, $40 Market street, | was courteously
received by Mr.. P R. Rosenburg, in the
absence of either of the partners.
May l ask if you have ever used Joy 8
Vegetable Sarsaparilla ?" | queried.

Would you mind giving me your opin-
ion as to its merits?''

1t cleanses the blood and does not mar the
face with lines or anything of that sort.
you know what [ mean," he went on
"Of course, it is possible to cleanse the
blood by weakening the system, but that
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla does not do,
at least, it did not in my case. 1t has
been of exceptional benefit to me. and |
am pleased to indorse it"
MAY quote you as saying this?" was
asked him.
"Why, certainly replied Mr.. Rosen-
burg, II never object to telling the truth
at any time"
WE'LL e. Beck have very high standing
in the commercial world, and it has been
their aim to select straightforward as we'll
as courteous employees, and to their envied
reputation in this particular much of their
success is doubtless due.
Mr. H. o. sTEARNs EXPRESSES HIMSELF
CLEARLY.
There are few of the fair sex who do not
know Mr.. II. o. StearDs of 1905 Market
street whose candies and bonbons have
for so many years been the proper" as
well as the incest confections. He has
been for the past ten years in his present
place of business and has earned the con-
fidence of every one who knows him.
When asked his opinion OF Joy's Vege-
table Sarsa parilla he said: 81 don't know
OF anything that l ever heard spoken of
so highly IN my life, and my good opinion
of it does not rest on hearsav alone. |
use it in my own family and use it regu-
larly. We keep it home because we never
know when one OF the little ones may be
little bit under the weather" We find
that it invariably does good. Its action is
mild but always satisfactory.
"a lady who lived in my house." he
went on, fused joys Vegetable Sarsarilla
for quite long time, and she always
spoke in the most glowing terms OF what
it had done for her. She suffered, l
think, from dyspepsia more than any,
thing else, but no matter whether my
memory is correct on that point or not, |
can assure you of thiS-that she would not
have been without joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla, no matter what it might have cost
her. Luckily enough she was one of those
who could afford to have anything that

chatting with Mr.. Stearns, for he is a most
entertaining talkcr, as well as being a be-
lever in home industry. He is a worker
for the benefit of ell Californians. There
is no question but that his candies com
pare more than fayorably with any East
ern or foreign importation. and they are
all strictly home made products.
JOHN A. KENNEDY is EMPHATIC.
Nolan Bros. have recently opened new
shoestore at 1924 Market street, and with
characteristic business sagacity they have
installed Mr.. John A. Kennedy, who for ten
or more years was prominently identified
with RusselPs shoehouse on Market street.
opposite Third. Mr.. Kennedy is probably
one of the best-known shoe men in the
City. Straight as an arrow and of kindly
face, his Celtic eyes look at you with an
air of most evident sincerity. Asked as
to the merits of Joys Vegetable Sarsapar-
lila he said Il am lucky enough never to
