A. DHKIIIC&Y AND CO., CROCKERY AND
GLASSWARE, 51 J STREET.
This is the largest exclusively crockery
and glassware house in Sacramento, and
occupies one of the most spacious store
rooms in the city. This house was estab
lished in 1852, and claims, with evident
justness, to be the pioneer house in the
business. It alleges that it can sell ten
per cent, cheaper in all lines of imported
stock than San Francisco houses in like
business. This establishment makes no
charge for packing or drayage, and on none
of its packages is there any wharfage or
like charge to the purchaser. The chief
lines are all kinds of American and Euro
pean Crockery and glassware, cutlery and
>ck than San Franc sco houses in like
siness. This establishment makes no
arge for packing or drayage, and on none
its packages is there any wharfage or
;e charge to the purchaser. The chief
es are all kinds of American and Euro
an crockery and glassware, cutlery and
plated ware, and the usual variety ot shelf
goods. Working with a small fixed capital,
buying direct from manufacturers at home
and abroad, transporting almost entirely
by rail, selling at small margins of profit,
and with rapid transactions, the house is
enabled to offer to the interior advantages
that few others can. There is needed no
further statement as to these advantages ;
they are known and acknowledged.

• There is no business prosecuted in Sac
ramento which attracts so much general
interest as that conducted by this firm,
their chief line being the very precarious
one of shipping fresh fruits, grapes, etc.,
to the Eastern markets, as al*o vegetable
products. Success has been deserved and
won by this firm in this line. During the
nine years of its existence it has estab
lished a business extending across the Con
tinent to the chief cities of the Atlantic
seaboard. It is one of the largest fruit
shipping firms of the Pacific coast. Dur
ing last year they paid for freights for
goods shipped from their house alone more
than 1 25 They have perfected stem
of shipping fruit that renders the use of ice
unnecessary, and 1 mils California products
in the Eastern market in a better condi
tion than by the old process.' During the
past year this firm shipped not less than
145 cars of products to the Eastern mar
kets. Seventy of these went to the city
■of Denver. Business was not so large as
it would have been had it not been for the
codling moth or apple worm. Yet, never
theless, it exceeded that of any preceding
season. The firm have developed a trade
"in Arizona, and, strange as it may seem,
Sacramento is now shipping fruit to that
Territory, directly past and through rival
markets. • ' ••■ V^r
. The firm is an established authority for
market quotations of fruit throughout the
State. They deal largely, also, in raisins
and the products of the artificial driers of
recent invention. - They have given es
pecial attention to forwarding the interests
•f j raisin-culture in j California and :_ the
I prospect jis that this industry will grow
into large proportions lin the Sacramento
valley, and that Brewer ; A Co. will be its
- principal agents. In addition to their ex
. tensive . operations .in " green v fruit : ship
ments, they r give : much attention to i the
purchase and sale of ; nuts, honey,' carden
and farm seeds. . They a'so have an exten
.siYe and . increasing trade in garden pro-

duce, which they ship largely in season to
all points in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, con
siderable to Utah, and largely throughout
northern California, the Sierra region, and
to other sections demanding that class of |
goods. Their connections "with" Eastern j
houses are first-class, and so intimate that
they are standard authority as to the East
ern market prices in their line of business.
This firm was one of the earliest to engage
in the precarious business of shipping Iruit
Eastward and creating there a demand for
California product* of this kind. , ;
One of the firm went East a few weeks
ago, as is the annual custom, to effect ar
rangements with all the great Eastern mar
kets for the still further introduction of
California fruits and produce along the At
lantic seal oar 1, and all the interior beyond
the Rocky Mountains.
Fruit shipment in season is the most ac
tive business in the city of Sacramento.
It engages the exclusive attention of a
large number of firms, whose houses, in
the shipment season, are the busiest places
on the city front. This house has during
the recent season furnished the Record-
Union with the mariiet quotations of fruits
at Sacramento. These quotations have
been accented throughout the interior as r
standard.* In addition to the business al- j
ready cited, the firm engages largely
in I the purchase and sale of tropical j
and semi-tropical fruits, oranges, lemons, i
limes, bananas, not only from . the
islands of the sea, but from our own
groves in .Southern California and from
the foothills, where orange culture prom
ises in the near future to be a most exten- I
sive and profitable industry. It has now
been demonstrated that Sacramento has
great advantages over other points as a
market for tropical fruits of the lower val

vancement of the business of this firm, and
the record of IST'.) shows no exception to
that of its predecessors. It is one of the
largest fruit and produce houses in the
State, and its business successfully rivals
that of any. The senior partner, Mr.
Strong, a pioneer of ISSO, has been mer
chandising in Sacramento since July, 1552.
He has seen Sacramento at its worst and at
its best — in tribulation and in prosperity,
in trial and in triumph. He never lost
faith in its commercial future, and his far
seeing wisdom is now being justified. His
property has been covered by flood, his
buildings destroyed by fire, but to-day the
firm of which he is the head is better
housed than ever, and enjoys a busi
ness which excites the admiration
and surprise of all who have witnessed it
or inquired into its details. Despite losses
and discouragements, it has risen to the
front rank among the commercial houses
of the country. In 1573 Robert William
son became a member cf the house, and
in IS7S the former head clerk, P. E. Piatt,
was also received iuto the firm. With this
combination the establishment has enlarged

business in dried fruits conducted by the
house is very extensive. Mr. Levy has been
eighteen years in the business, and deals
as far south as Los Angeles and ships to

of the largest fruit-growers in the State,
does a large commission business also, and
handles a vast quantity of general produce.
He does no retailing, devoting his atten
tion exclusively to the wholesale business.
The house, for the accommodation of the
interior purchasers, keeps a good supply of
tobaccos and cigars, but does not make it
a matter of special attention. The fruit
business, Mr. Levy says, has steadily and

419 AND 421 J STREET.
This . house has been, long established
and is well known throughout the cen

nia. ' " Mr. Cohen deals largely in '■ car
pets of all grades, oil-cloth, wall-paper,
shades, matting, pictures and picture
frames, moldings, upholstery r goods,
and a general assortment of all classes
of goods belonging to the ' business.
This is among the oldest houses in Sacra

In 1*72 the present proprietor, purchased
a half interest with J. W. j Sharp, who
had conducted the business j for several
years, and in the same year ; pur
chased the whole establishment.
He has gone steadily forward,
increasing the business, and has always kept
prices down to the lowest, rates consistent
with a fair profit With his facilities for
purchasing and receiving goods di
rect from the East, he can offer un
surpassed inducements to every one who
desires anything in his line. In the
first place his goods are imported direct
from first hands, and from only those
houses whose reputation and standing for
the quality of their goods is first-class.
Secondly, his expenses, he claims, are much
less than those of any similar house on the
coast carrying so large and varied a stock
of goods. Thirdly, he gives his personal
supervision to his business, and does all
in his power to give satisfaction to
his customers, both at home and
abroad. His trade extends all along
the lines of the Central Pacific Railroad
and throughout Northern and Central Cali
fornia. His business is another proof that
Sacramento merchants possess facilities
for trade that are not enjoyed by those of
the metropolis, and that people abroad
realize the fact that Mr. Cohen keeps a su
perior class of goods and sells them at
modest prices. He has always on hand the
latest and most elegant designs in all
grades of carpeting, which are noted for
the superior quality of their wool and
beautiful patterns. Any order from the
interior he will attend to promptly.

goods of the Phoenix Manufacturing Com
pany of Grand Rapids, Michigan, through
which company he enjoys special privileges,
enabling him to sell at lower rates than are
to be had in competing markets. His up
holstery and manufacturing business is not
very extensive, but he employs the best
workmen to be had. His annual exhibi
tion of fine upholstering and furniture at
the State Fair are the text for universal
comment for excellence and artistic design.
The areas of his three floors are 35 by 125
feet each. His store-rooms are stocked
with the richest class of furniture known
to the trade, and he keeps in addition all
the lower grades. His jobbing trade he
presents as the largest of any house outside
of San Francisco. The growth of his busi
ness is one of the most noted instances of
rapid business advancement in the city.

In reviewing the general success of the

able notice. This house has not only held
its former advanced position among the
leading establishments of its kind upon the
coast, but has enjoyed most extensive in
crease in its business, and established the
fact that with its arrangements for obtain
ing its stock at lowest possible prices direct
from the manufacturers, together with its
facilities for doing business and the well
known advantages afforded by this market,
it can meet the most exacting demands of
the trade from the interior upon the short

lowest that can be obtained at San Fran
cisco. Mr. Taubenheimer keeps an exten

The opening of the year 1880 is marked
by an event in the history of Sacramento
of more than ordinary importance. The
old Orleans Hotel property — a historic
monument in this State — has changed
hands, and from a hostlery had been con
verted into what is probably the com
pletest and most elaborate business estab
lishment outside of the city of San Fran
cisco upon the Pacific coast. The well
known firm .of Whittier, Fuller & Co.,
some three months ago purchased the
property, and has at heavy outlay en
tirely changed its character and largely
rebuilt it. The Sacramento house of this
firm __} ..; '-r
COMMERCED BUSINESS IN 1849
In this city, and in 1857 in San Francisco.
The Sacramento house consists of Whit
tier, Fuller & Co., of San Francisco, and
Joseph Steffens and Lewellyn Tozer, of
Sacramento. The paint factory of the firm
in San Francisco is a brick building 45x275
feet, with three stories and a basement,
and is supplied with the most improved
machinery, operated by steam power, and
is complete in every respect. The white
lead works of the firm adjacent to the fac
tory occupy two water lota. From these
works there are now monthly turned out
150 tons of the best and purest white lead
ever manufactured in any country. There
has been recently added a new engine of
increased power, and the firm will now
not only entirely supply the coast demand,
but will be compelled to look to other mar
kets as an outlet for their production.
LARGEST IN TUB UNITED STATES.
The house as a whole, with its several
establishments in California, is the most
exensive paint, oil and glass establishment
in the United States, and in Sacramento is
located the mother house of all this vast
business. The firm depend upon the Sac
ramento house to do the leading jobbing
business in these goods for Central Cali
fornia and -Nevada. It has long labored
under the disadvantage of not having a
suitable place here in which to do business
— their trade having long since outgrown
the old quarters at X and Second streets.
Accordingly, as we have said, the entire
Orleans Hotel property, on Second street,
between J and X, was purchased, and
having been thoroughly remodeled, the firm
is now established in its new quarters. The
purchase of the property and improve
ments made have occasioned a very large
expenditure of money, but the result is the
moat commodious business place imaginable.
The new store has a frontage of 42 feet by
a depth of 50 to the first division walls,
which are cut by two arches, each opening
into further salesrooms, making the entire

In the middle of the room running from
the division wall above-mentioned to the
Second-street front. These offices — 11 by
41 feet — are composed entirely of fine plate
glass, set upon low wooden panels, and
comprise the general business office on the
front, the book-keeper's office next, and
last, the private office of the proprietors.
One of the rear store-rooms, that on the
south, occupies the location of the old din
ing-room, while that upon the north is
new, and was built in what,
was formerly the old court of the
hotel. The north store-room, 14 by 50
feet, with ita show-windows and glass
cases, opens into the sales-room noticed at
the rear which is 18x64 feet, and is, as
stated, connected with it by one of the
archways. -These rooms are devoted to
paints, varnishes, mixed paints, oil and
spirit tanks from which to retail, etc.
South of the office is also a show-window,
with sales-room 10x50 feet, devoted to
picture bins, counters filled with drawers
for tube colors, brushes, chromos, picture
frames, engravings, trimmings, etc. This
room has also a tine, well-arranged wall
paper sample-rack, thirty feet \ long by
fourteen feet high. Passing through the
archway next, the visitor enters the leading
room of the building, which ia 25x100 feet.

j'jrjjf ART GALLERY,
Where .the artists of the State will not
only be at liberty, but be solicited to hang
their works, that the people may see them
and purchase if desired. The house thus
shows a r commendable spirit in its desire ,
to encourage art culture, while it plainly
admits that its interests lie to no small ex
tent in the advancement of art. The en
trance to this gallery is convenient both to
the winding stairway and to the elevator
landing. We have thus given a very brief
outline of an establishment worthy of
great elaboration in writing — an establish

Mr. Krebs in 1853 bought Mr. Frank's
interest in the paint house ,of Frank &
Fredericks, and the new firm continued
until : 1563, when Mr. Krebs purchased
Mr. Fredericks' interest (who went to Vir
ginia City, Nev.), and continued the busi
ness in his own name up to July,
1877, when he took in partnership
Mr. A. H. Rott, who had been in
his employ since 1807. Mr. Krebs there
fore, with apparent justice, claims to be
the pioneer establishment in this line of
business. The house has two floors, 20x94
feet, at 020 J street, between Sixth and
Seventh, and ISxCO feet on Seventh street.'
The store-rooms and basement are filled
with goods in all the lines engaged in. The
firm is agent fortheAverill chemical ready
mixed paints, and keeps on hand a full aud
assorted stock. The house is its own im
porter, buying but a small portion of its
goods in coast markets. It brings its pa
per-hangings from New York, its glass from
San Francisco (as French glass is as cheap
ther&as in New York), its artists' materi
als from Philadelphia, moldings from Cin
cinnati, Chicago and Detroit, brushes from
Boston and New York, and building paper
from Wisconsin. In addition it has a very
large paint shop, and employs a number of
men constantly. It has filled some of the
largest painting contracts ever let for the
interior of the State. So, too, with glazing ;
it has set vast quantities of plate glass,
perhaps as much, if not more, than any
other house in the State, San Francisco
excepted. The firm recently obtained the
agency for the Phceniz Fire Insurance
Company, of Hartford, and the Home, of
New York (giving in every instance a joint
policy), whose aggregate assets are over
nine million dollars, making their policies
the strongest American fire insurance in
the United States. ';,';:

FRONT STREET, N AND O.
This establishment was founded in 1862.
The present works occupy a two-story brick
structure, with a basement, as a main
building, besides several wooden buildings,
covering an area of ground 120 by 100 feet.
They manufacture engines and quartz mills,
and build all kinds of machinery. They
also make all descriptions of brass and iron
castings. The reputation of these works
is so great that they are called upon to till
orders in all parts of the State, and the
" Union Iron Works " is an imprint that is
familiar to everybody who has anything to
do with machinery. Keeently these works
have received orders for estimates for large
quartz mills from Arizona, which circum
stance will give some idea of the extent of
their jurisdiction. They are prepared to
build any kind of machinery, their facili
ties being such that they can fill any order
from a marine engine to all classes of min
ing machinery. The firm in 1870 was
largely engaged in building quartz mills.

LUMBER.
Wholesale and Retail Sealers in
Building Materials.
N. L. DREW AND CO., DEALERS IN LUMBER,
. CORNER M AND SECOND STREETS.
This is the oldest lumber dealing firm in
Sacramento without change of name. It
was established in 1852. A visit to the
yards of the firm will convince the most
skeptical that its stock is among the largest
and best, if not the best selected upon the
coast. The lumber is all under cover, the
buildings and sheds fronting 150 feet on M
street by 85 on Second, and having a bight
of 30 feet inside. This was the original
yard of the company, but from the increase
of its trade it haa for some years had an
other large yard at the corner of Front and
0 streets, for storage of redwood and Ore
gon lumber. During the past year, how
ever, the business of the establishment has
increased about fifty per cent., anl so en
larged the volume of its transactions that
the company requiring more extended fa
cilities to meet the increasing demands, has
added another large yard on the east side
of Second street, at the corner of M, 80x100
feet, and also another' on X street, between
Front and Second, both of which new yards
are fully stocked with the very finest se
lected lumber. An establishment of such
magnitude, and of such extensive business
transactions, forms a leading business fea
ture of Sacramento. Formerly only a small
per cent, of the lumber obtained by whole
sale dealers was first-class, but lumber hav
ing been much lower in price for the past
few years ou account of vigorous competi
tion in the opening up of new fields, it has
made the demand for clear and perfect
lumber so great that comparatively little
low-grade stock is now sent to the market.
In fact, Drew& Co. have made it a«pecialty
to have all their invoices, sofaras is within
human possibility, made up of the choicest
lumber, and the result is that their
immense stock is unsurpassable for quality.
In visiting this establishment one is im
pressed by the neatness and manner in
which the lumber is kept and the business
of the firm transacted. The molding racks
in the yard are the neatest to be seen
anywhere, and they contain every imagin
able style. Here is also to be seen the best
assortment of doors, windows, blinds,
house fittings, and, indeed, everything
that is needed in the building line. Tak
ing advantage of the recent depression in
the lumber market they have stocked their
yards to their utmost capacity, and are
offering their goods at the most advantage
ous rates. The head of the firm, N. L.
Drew, ia a Sacramento pioneer, who has
stood by the city during fire and flood and
has met its vicissitudes and suffered by
them, but has, in every instance, come to
the top, and to-day stands as one of our
leading lumber merchants of the coast.
In addition to the extensive local and inte
rior trade Drew & Co. are dealing largely
in Arizona, Nevada and Utah, and their
advantages enable them to promptly till all
orders with the very choicest of lumber,
ami at the lowest possible rates.
SACRAMENTO LUMBER COMPANY, SECOND
STREET, BETWEEN I. AND M.
Mr. 0. P. Goodhue is the manager of this
company. Besides the Second street yard,
it has a yard extending 900 feet along the
water front. It keeps every variety of
lumber kuown to the trade, and deals
largely in sash, blinds, doors, moldings and
all housebuilding wood-work. It makes
a specialty of dealing in clear sugar pine
and yellow pine, which come principally
from Butte and Tehama counties, these
sections producing what is admitted to be
the finest stock upon the Pacific coast. The
house carries this lumber largely for the
shipping | trade, as it is finer and lighter
lumber, works better and is best adapted
for shipping to distant points, such as
Idaho, Colorado, Bodie, etc., with all
which the firm deals constantly and large
ly. This company also deals very exten
sively in dressed lumber of all classes, and
is now carrying a very much larger stock
in all lines of the best assorted materials
than ever heretofore. The climate of Sac
ramento is peculiarly favorable for thor
oughly seasoning lumber. The storage
grounds of the company are ample, i
and - located . contiguous to 4 the main
lines of water „ and rail transportation.
The company also buys its stock in immense
quantities at a time, and has connection
with the largest manufactures in the East,
thereby securing most favorable rates. In
addition to these peculiar advantages, it
enjoys all those general advantages which
the Sacramento market affords to the lum
ber business, and which enables this com
pany to sell the best materials at lowest
possible prices. ; J The extensive stock of
the firm and its facilities for doing business
enables it to fill all orders that can possibly
be made upon it. .'• _■/" 'if' ."-i-V-.S'f :•'■■'•-

FRIEND AND TERRY LUMBER COMTANT.
An association newly formed, but really
embracing some of the oldest firms in Sao-,
ramento and San Francisco. The chief
object of the company is to prosecute a
thoroughly - complete lumber business,
wholesale and retail. Aided by abundant
facilities and all needed capital, they are
already prepared to fill any orders, how
ever large or small, for any kind of lumber
upon shortest notice and always at lowest
market prices. They are largely interested
in extensive Oregon, redwood and sugar
pine nulls and will take orders to be
shipped from these mills direct, by vessel
or rail, to dealers or consumers. They will
use at Sacramento for storage room and
trade facilities the commodious yards in
the vicinity of Second and M streets, here
tofore occupied by Friend, Terry & Co.,
and the large, convenient yard at the cor
ner of Twelfth and J streets, lately
operated by Dodge, Unas & Co. The lit
eral acres of buildings and sheds already
erected and now being erected upon these
premises will insure to customers thor
oughly seasoned lumber of all grades, at
all times of the year. They 'do not defy
competition, but feel well prepared to meet
it, come from what quarter it may. Very
light lumber, shingles, etc., for shipment
East and long distances will be found' in

JAMES I. FELTER AND CO., IMPORTERS OP
WINES AND LIQUORS.
This house, occupying the old pioneer
store established in 1501, at 73 Front street,
between X and L, now consists of J. H.
Carroll and JameS 1. Felter. The commo
dious one-story and basement store, size 25
by 130 feet, affords them fine store-room
for the display of their goods and for their
bottling department, where they have a
number of men constantly at work putting
up in cases wines and brandies, which they
ship principally to Utah and Colorado.
This firm also imports direct its cognacs,
wines and Holland gin, and consequently
pays but little tribute to .Sun Francisco, as
its purchases in that city are very light,
and are only for a line of goods manufac
tured there, such as bitters and cider, etc.
This firm is also sole agents here for Reed's
gilt-edge tonic, Kennedy's East India and
the celebrated Damiana bitters. The store
location is directly upon the line of the
chief railways of the State, the cars ot
which roll to the door of the warerooms.
But a few feet distant are the chief wharves
of river shipment. These are peculiar ad
vantages to this house, and which must be
shared by all its patrons.
The volume of business done by this
firm from the 20th of December, 1878, to
the 20th of December, 1879, has very
largely increased, their trade having ex
tended over a greater extent of territory,
and having direct connection with one of
the old distillery company! in Louisville,
Ky., their facilities for conducting a large
and extensive trade are second to none on
the Pacific coast. The reasons why the
liquor trade here enjoys special advant
ages are in part climatic, and well under
stood by dealers.
Soon after the commencement of the
new year the firm will, in connection with
their wholesale wine and liquor business,
open a jobbing cigar department, and their
orders are now being filled by Eastern man
ufacturers. The motto of this house is
" We strive to please," and with the zeal
ous management of the firm, always look
ing to the interest of their patrons, as well
as their own, they are certainly entitled to
success.
GEORGE W. CHESLEY, FRONT, BETWEEN J
AND X STREETS, WHOLESALE WINE AND
LIQUOR MERCHANT.
. ■;. . [See grocers and tobacconists.]
This is one of the oldest, liquor houses in
the State, having been established in 1855.
As has been stated elsewhere, the estab
lishment is a wholesale grocery and provi
sion store also. It enjoys by its admirable*
business location all the advantages to be
derived from immediate proximity to points
of shipment by rail and boats, and can fill
all orders with the utmost promptness and
dispatch. He imports his stock direct, and
reaches his customers with prices but
slightly advanced upon producers' figures.
The most of his line of liquors he brings
by sea voyage, to insure improvement by
age and the voyage. He pays especial at
tention to French wines, brandies, old
ports, etc., and claims that his stock in
this line, as well as in all other liquor lines,
cannot be surpassed. He has the most ap
proved brands of whiskies known in tho
country. Mr. Chesley has the exclusive
agency for the new remedial agent for
which so much is claimed, and known as
Rock and Rye, and which the manufactur
ers present as pure old rye whisky and the
best rock candy. This is claimed to be not
j only an alleviator of all bronchial, throat
and lung affections, but in many cases to
work radical- cures of these complaints. It
is unnecessary to refer to it more in detail,
as its sale has become universal, and the
term "Rock and Rye" is as familiar as a
household word. It may lie added that the
Rock and Rye sold by Chesley is the only
genuine article sold on the coast. All not
bearing his trade-mark is spurious. His
trade-mark is protected by law. The ex
tent of the local sale and shipment of this
remedial beverage, through this house, is so
great as to be phenomenal. The success of
this house has been of steady growth, and
enables it to supply the trade, as it does,
at prices as low as can be obtained in San
Francisco or elsewhere.
