PIONEER PUBLISHER
DOWN TOWN AGAIN
A. Nj. Robertson Has Artistic
Store Facing Union
Square

a. NJ Robertson. the pioneer pub
Usher and book seller, has opened his
new store in the Robertson building,
facing Union square. The removal
from the temporary location in Van
Ness avenue was quite unostentatfous
and marked by no removal sale In
stead Of this. Robertson characteris-
Itically commemorated the event by al
lowing himself the luxury of putting
forth two publications, volumes writ
ten by Californians and printed and
bound here. p
The first of these is a volume of es-
says from the pen of Ambrose Bierce
called '"The Shadow on the Dial" and
the other a book which will carry the
names of publisher and authors
through centuries to come, and which
takes its place in the archives along
side that other notable publication
The California Earthquake of 1906"
This is photography of the Chinese
Question in the United States" by
Boutwell, Dunlap and Robert E. Cowan
Robertson, who is the oldest book
seller in San Francisco, was the first
to open after the fire. starting in tenn
porary quarters exactly three weeks
after the calamity. He published the
first book after the fire, and commemo-
rated the first anniversary of that
event by issuing two volumes of
poetry.
Robertsons method of conducting
business is unique in this day, and
while conservative. is progressive to a
degree. as the record OF his pioneering
will attest. The absence of the re-
moval sale, which has come to be a
modern commercial institution, is in
keeping with his general attitude in
regard to sales of any kind. He has
the distinction of being the only book
seller in the United States, Canada
England. or France who has absolutely
kept faith with his publishers and au-
thors as to the price of their works
All books are sold by him at the
marked publishers price and never re-
duced.
Robertson's own publications have
been many, and have added to the lit
erature of America the distinctive
western note. They have been the
best efforts of Californians and gener-
ally of such a nature that there was
never a possibility of their becoming
best sellers" This branch of Rob-
ertson's business has been a cOntribu-
tion to the state and scarcely more
than self-supporting. Among the
names on the list are those of Mark
ham (whose Man With the Hoe was
first published here). Ambrose Bierce
Joaquin Miller, George Sterling
Charles Warren Stoddard, Louis Rob-
ertson and Charles Keeler.
The new store at 222 Stockton street
facing Union square, is designed after
the manner of the library of an early
English house. 1t is the work OF
oliver & F'oulkes, architects.

Just like the flies, I swear.

Alas, they are not there!
