HAMMOND & BROD.
Principal Dealers in Fresh and
Cured Meats in the City.

Principal Dealers in Fresh and
Cured Meats in the City.
The firm of Hammond & Brod is not
only the leading concern of the Spreck-
els Market, but their meat establish
ment is the best equipped and largest
in the city. The stalls of the firm oc
cupy the entire west side of the mar
ket, and they furnish at all times dis
plays of fresh and cured meats second
to none in the city. The firm is COM
posed of Samuel c. Hammond and
AmieI H. Brod.
Mr.. Hammond has been in the butch
er's trade in this city for twenty one
years, and his association with Mr..
Brod dates back to 1882 Until the
opening of the Spreckels Market, in
December of last year, the firm was
engaged exclusively in the jobbing
trade. The equipment of their stalls
is superb in every respect, one of the
features being a tracking system, one
of the best labor-saving devices known
to the business. The stalls are clean.
and at all times present a handsome
appearance. The firm disposes of 70
cattle and $50 sheep and lambs every
week, exclusive of the beef and NUT
ton supplied to the shipping in the bay.
The force Of employees numbers twen-
ty-six men, engaged in handling meats,
picking beef and making sausage.
Mr.. Hammond has for five years past
been the efficient president of the
Butchers Board of Trade of San Fran
cisco and Alameda Counties.

Finest and Most Elegantly

City.
The Wonder and Admiration
Of Every Visitor to San
Francisco.
Some Account of the Various Stall
keepers in This Famous
Institution.

San Francisco has long been famous
for the number. beauty, extent and
utility of its public markets. Every
visitor to the city finds in them some
thing to ponder over, for they inculcate
ideas which are not only compliment
ary to the enterprise of their project
ors in this city but derogatory to the
cities in which they dwell, and in
which such institutions are an un-
known quantity. San Francisco is the
only city in the Union, with the eXcep-
ton, perhaps of New Orleans, hav-
ing markets in which may be obtained
supplies for the table ranging from the
most humble vegetable to the dain-
tiest delicacy. These markets have
long ceased to be novelties to the resi-
dents of this city, who regard them
as Indispensable to their comfort as is
food to the existence of him who
starves or water to the parched palate
of the man who is dying OF thirst on
the desert sands.
One of the leading institutions Of
this kind, and certainly the most ele-
CANT in San Francisco, is the Spreckels
Market, located on Market street,
nearly opposite Grant avenue. Fin
ished in the finest style and furnishing
as they do the most inviting displays
of meat, produce, fruits, fish, delicacies,
etc, the stalls in this market enjoy a
heavy patronage, which includes not
only the heads of families but pro-
prietors of the leading hotels and
restaurants. Accounts of the leading
stalIkeepers in the Spreckels Market

Robert Mantell Cigar.

Do you relish a good smoke?
If you do try the Robert Mantell
cigar.
Why is the Robert Mantell cigar SO
popular?
Because it's flavor is exquisite.
Because it is made of the purest
finest tobacco.
Because it is the best 10-cent cigar on
the market.
Because it is made of tobacco, all to-
bacco, nothing but tobacco.
Because it is made exclusively by
white labor.
Because it is sold according to size,
10 cents straight, two for 25 cents and
three for 25 cents; just as smokers may
desire.
If you have not tried it yet don't de-
lay. And don't stop at one-the true
strength of a cigar lies in it's uni.
formity; that is Mantell's strongest
point.
The local agents are the Wertheimer
Company, jobbers of cigars, pipes and
tobaccos, at rs Battery street.

value of sagacity and probity in COM
merciaI life.
The firm was organized in 1882. and
began business at Perkins, Sacramento
County, as a general merchandise
store, the branch in this city being
started six years ago.
The firm comprises Thomas C. Per-
kins and his son Charles c. The senior
member is a pioneer of 1850, a respect
ed member of the community and loIIg
identified with it's interests.
Charles C. Perkins is a native son,
having been born in Sacramento Coun-
ty. While his time has been largely de-
voted to the successful conduct of his
business interests, he has found time
for the study of public questions, In
which he takes an intelligent interest.
He early identified himself with the
Republican party, and was chosen a
delegate to the convention in Los An
seIes which nominated John f. Swift
for Governor.
Mr.. Perkins has been elected mem
Der of the Board of Education and his
course in that position has met with
the approval of the best citizeEs.
He is prominently mentioned for the
position of postmaster OF Sacramento
and many of the most influential citi-
zens III the community urge his ap-
pointment He declined to discuss the
subject. however, with the remark that
his time was fully occupied with his
business interests at present.
Il believe" said a prominent citizen
to the reporter, that the postottice
should be placed in the hands of ca
pable business man. Mr.. Perkins has
shown capacity in the management Of
his own business, and he would make
a good postmaster. He has numerous
Endorsements from the business COM

POULTRY AND GAME.
One Of the Most Prominent
Dealers Here Is Richard
Ti6dV

To the patrons of the various mar
kets in the city there is perhaps no
name better known than that of Rich
ard Tiddy, the poultry and game deal
er, in the Spreckels Market. Mr.. It'd
dy has been catering to the public for
sixteen years past and in that period
has succeeded in building up very ex-
tensive local trade. His establishment
in the Market is fitted up in handsome
style, and the daily display of dressed
poultry and game is fine enough to
whet the appetite of the most blase
epicure. In addition to supplying pri-
vate families with these toothsome
dainties, Mr.. Tiddy furnishes all the
Oceanic steamers with supplies of the
character described. He also provides
poultry exclusively to the Cafe link
and, st. Nicholas Hotel, Steward
House, LennOX House, the Longworth
the Renton, the Baltimore, the Hotel
Stewart, Page & Falch, and, in fact
nearly all Of the first-class hotels and
restaurants in the city. Mr. Tiddys
success is due to his careful attention
to the details of his business, his uni
form courtesy shown to every custo-
mer, and his efforts to please all alike

Where Now Stand Stately

A Graceful Tribute to General Sutter
in Making the City the Capital
of the State.

Late on a summer afternoon in 1899,
just as the sun set in the West, and
before the hot sands along the river
banks had been cooled by the dews of
evening, there stood upon the deck of
a rudely constructed craft cultured,
mild-mannered man of about So. He
had the bearing of a military gentle
man, the refined and polished man
ners of courtier, the gentle and un-
bounded generosity of good fellow
ship, yet withal. the sterner qualities
of an intrepid explorer. His crew was
made up of eight swarthy natives of
the Hawaiian Islands and about the
same number of wandering whites.
whose nativity included: Two Ameri-
cans, three Irishmen, two Germans and
a Jew. AT the word of command the
sloping PROV of his vessel grated upon
the sands, and what provisions they
carried were piled upon the shore.
