TO THE
INTELLIGENCE OF THIS COMMUNITY,
And though in Sacramento it has been customary to resort to the
most barefaced clap-trap to make a showy advertisement that might
delude the public, while the most paltry tricks have been played
to divert attention from the real merits of the goods offered for
sale by the speculating Houses, yet we are bold enough to say
that :
WE WILL NOT FOLLOW IN THE PATH OF ANY WHO
HAVE GONE BEFORE US ;
For, instead of giving the public extravagant doses of wordy
rubbish, sounding big, but meaning nothing, we shall make
our business announcements a reflection of - the strong,
common-sense and determined capacity we seek to embody
in our new and live Sacramento enterprise. .
We Are Not the Largest House on Earth,
Though, if we say that we are, we would very nearly approach to the standard of
Truth, as set up by some Sacramento Business Advertisements ; but WE HAVE
CERTAIN GREAT ADVANTAGES IN OUR FAVOR THAT ARE POSSESSED
BY NO OTHER FIRM IN SACRAMENTO, and with confidence we lay our plan
of action, and our reasons for it, before that public which has so evidently appreciated
our efforts since we opened the house^^^^ •• . .
HALE BibS. & CO.,
IliiJuß J3jKiUo. O6 uU.,
SACEAMENTO.
This is Our Programme of Action
WE ARE PRACTICAL BUSINESS MEN— that is, we have learned our busi-
ness thoroughly in Eastern Houses doing a first-class and lively retail trade. We
are not speculators or mere men of theory, and will not imitate those who conduct their
business on the " HURRAH style of quack medicine vendors, or pamphlet dis-
tributers for the cure of the sick.
We believe in knowing thoroughly what we are working at, and combining with
our practical knowledge the advantages our several stores give us in purchasing
supplies. We know we are in a position to undersell any who may attempt to compete
with us.
WE HAVE ALL THE CAPITAL \WE NEED FOR OUR BUSINESS, and
having our own money at our own disposal, we determined to invest it go as to safely
yield a reasonable rate of interest. We have therefore started in Sacramento, believing
that here we can benefit the public while furthering our own aims. We have come
among this community in a very modest way, and in premises that we cannot boast of,
deeming it wise to keep expenses down while we are still new arrivals, and WHEN
OUR METHODS BECOME KNOWN AND PEOPLE GET TIME TO JUDGE US
BY OUR GOODS, THEN WE CAN ENLARGE AND EXTEND WITH OUR
TRADE ALREADY ESTABLISHED.
fc'" We will do nothing in a hurry, but will Enlarge our business as soon
as the public examine our prices and principles, finding them worthy of
confidence.
WE DO A STRICTLY RETAIL TRADE, BUT YET BUY OUR GOODS AS
WHOLESALERS. The firm has Five Different Stores in the State of California,
together covering an area of nearly 21,000 square feet. The goods for all these houses
are bought at the same time, and by experienced buyers, who aro principal members of
the firms they represent. Thus, whereas others supply One Dry Goods Store only, WE
SUPPLY FIVE, and having a CENTRAL OFFICE from which all supplies issue to
the various branches, our representatives in the New York and Chicago Markets get the
prices at which goods are offered to Wholesalers. -
We are legitimately entitled to Wholesalers' prices, and our advertising this is not a
sham for effect ; it is the truth, which business men allow. Our boisterous competitors have
no such advantage. THE MIGHTY DOLLAR is the controlling element in business.
WE BUY STRICTLY FOR (ASH! ;
(Not merely as a newspaper statement, but in reality), and as a result we are making a
reasonable interest on our money while
Our Competitors Declare We Are Selling Below
Cost.
We believe that certain causes must produce certain effects. We know that prices
have never been as low as they should be. Those who sought the trade of the people
have not been faithful to their professions ; and, even if they had tried to do their utmost,
they never had the advantages we possess in buying. Therefore, we believe our efforts
in Sacramento will prove satisfactory to the public and pleasant for ourselves. On one
thing wo are determined —
We are here to stay, and we will never be undersold,
while the prtee first asked for any goods will be
the only one taken.
Tv Visitors from the interior will receive special attention.

Chico, October sth'.— The Third District
Agricultural Association's Fair opened at tfii-i
place to-day, and, as usual, there is - much
confusion • upon the ' opening. The demand
for space at the Pavilion has been more than
the Directors anticipated, and several booths
outside have to improvised.'. The attractions
at . the Pavilion j seem to be more and varied
than on any previous occasion. ;. The stock
grounds also present a tine appearance, some
of the fine stock from the State Fair being
present. . The feature of to-day at Ihe race
track was the pigeon shooting by the mem
bers of the Butte County Sportsmen's Club
for the club medal, which was won by James
T. Mclntorih. The crowd ol gamblers and
roundels is greater than we have seen for
year?, and nearly every bar-room is turned
into a gambling den. The j usual amount of
ktreet-criers make a perfect pandemonium of
our usually i quiet town/ The hotels •. have
been all full to overflowing since Sunday, and
still the crowds come by every train. Where
they all sleep is the wonder of most people.
Found Vrowncd.
Stockton, October — The body- of
August F. Weber,', a " clerk in the County

anza Firm.

of the Sutro tunnel was abandoned last night
at 11 o'clock, and the whole force there— 7s

company is hauling its drill carriages from

affairs there.

allege that work ir the north header of the
Sutro Tunnel stopped -first, to cut a drain up
to the face ; second, that the mines have now
all the connection with the tunnel needed fur;
present economical workings, and third, that
the work is not done according to contract.
The header id 300 feet north of the south line
of Mexican, and the noith-end mines, through
connections, have the full benefit of the tun-.
eel for draiuage. . In the present etate of af
fairs the mines do not care to pay 970 per
foot to run the lateral fuith;r. In answer i"
a question as to when work there would be
resumed, the answer wan, "Cannot tell;'
may resume and may not."
