GEORGE LACOuR

One of the old and prominent establish
ments in the wholesale liquor trade of
Los Angeles is the house of George La
cour, at 1867 Also street. Mr.. Lacour made
his establishment twenty-five years ago
and has built up a large trade in the
city while he does substantial order
business from Southern California. His
principal business, however. Is confined
to the city, his house com bining the
wholesale and family trade with his large
and handsomely appointed saloon. Mr..
Lacour conforms his wholesale stocks TO
the uniform demand of the consumers in
Southern California for fine wines and
liquors. It is. a proyerbial fact that the
towns and cities of this section are popu-
lated by a cosmopolitan people, well in
formed and accustomed to the refine
ments of life; and this rule obtains no
less with reference to what they drink
than what they eat and wear. There
fore to meet this discriminating demand
Mr.. Lacour keeps his store well stocked
with all the standard goods and his as
sortment includes the, choice imported
wines and brandies and some of the IA
Vorite brands of Kentucky bourbon and
Pennsylvania and Maryland rye whistles.
He also carries an ample supply of the
fine and common wines of the country,
including the best of the California vim
taRe.

ANHEusER.RuscH BEER

In this cosmopolitan city nothing could
be more natural than that the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association of st. Louis
should establish one Of the large and con con

1t is the cosmopolitan beer. 1t goes
with the stars and stripes around tne
world and is received by all nations. IL is
a pioneer of savage lands and goes with
the explorer to the remote islands OF the
seas The first taste of civilization among
the aborigines has been a draught of An
heuser- Busch beer. 1t sakes the thirst
of the soldier mid the din and carnage
of battle: it delights the brilliant assem-
bly, in the drawing room; has been
euaffed with good cheer by crowned ed
heads and imperial courts: is drunk by
millions in America and millions more in
all parts of the world. Besides its fascf-
mating qualities as delicious beverage,
Anheuser- Busch beer is prescribed by
the invalid and the convalescent-a tonic
and a nutritious system builder. 1t is
the perfection of malt beverage NO
wonder that it should have large ware
house bottling works in Los Angeles for
its more convenient sale to the local peo-
pie and its bountiful distribution to the
people of Southern California and Ari-
zona. The branch house in this city is an
old establishment and its growth OF busl-
ness has been proportionate with that OF
the city, and that is to say its growth has
been enormous. F. A. Helm. the enter
prising manager, has held that respon-
sible position for the past two years and
is most active and efficient in his efforts
to supply the multitudinous and growing
demands His office, warehouse and
bottling works are located at 94S East
Second street, where with every REQUISITE
facility of wagons and teams and private
railroad switch, he does an immense local
and shipping business.

]. p. TRAFToN COMPANY

An interesting feature of the wholesale
business of Los Angeles is that of the
jewelry trade. Combining the two inter-
ests, that of the manufacturing jeweler. OF
whom there are a number in this city,
and the large wholesale jewelry house
of the j. P. Trafton company, besides the
numerous general mercantile establish
ments which include large stocks of jew
elry of various descriptions in their re-
spective notion departments, this branch
of trade has an unusually large represen-
tation here. Such is the status of the
trade here that it is quite similar in its
relation to the west to that of some of
the celebrated and distinctive manufac-
turing cities of the Atlantic seaboard to
the eastern and middle states, and also
to the south. Where does all this jewelry
go? is a question of natural suggestion;
The towns and cities of California and
particularly the southern half of the
state, are settled, as a rule. by an edu-
Gated. refined. cosmopolitan and more or
less wealthy people. These make use of
much fine and costly jewelry while it is
characteristic of the dominant nationali-
ties to bedeck themselves with jewels of
many kinds. Hence the large wholesale
establishment of j. P. Trafton company
becomes a market for the distribution OF

state. This company is at No. 12012 South

many of the celebrated manufacturers. OF

from charm to a fine gold watch, from

in California dealing in California

PACIFIC cRocKERY AND
TINWARE COMPANY

In the ordinary course of commerce in
the old, settled centers of trade, many
of the specialties, such, for instance, as
those handled by the Pacific Crockery
company of this city form large part
of general merchandise; but in Los An
geles, as the market for a vast and rap
idly growing region, the demand for
house furnishing goods is so great that
large exclusive establishments of the kind
are an absolute necessity of trade. Hence
the splendid growth and prosperity of the
this city. This house has been a con-
spicuous leader in these lines for many
years, but has become the more par
ticularly celebrated in recent times for
it's enlarged facilities and the enormous
stocks of goods sold in Los Angeles and
shipped out to neighboring towns, cities
and settlements; while having a large
and steadily expanding trade in Southern
California, Arizona, New Mexico and Ne
vada, and making some sales in Old
Mexico. For this vast territory of trade
the company employs six travelling men.
