To lovers of the beautiful, the display of wares
in a first-class jewelry store seem always to have
an attraction. The glittering diamond and the
brilliant sapphire are here displayed to their best advantage in golden
settings laid in silken cases. The handsome store of E. A. Zoberbier, in
the National hotel block, Nevada City, is the cynosure of all eyes, for,
with the keen judgment of an artist, Mr. Zoberbier has daintily arranged
his elegant stock of fine jewelry, watches and clocks. Such a display
can be found nowhere outside of the larger cities, and the goods are
equal to the best. Mr. Zoberbier is a native of Geneva, Switzerland,
where he was born in 1864. He learned the watchmaker’s trade in his
native land, which is famed all over the world for producing the finest
timepieces in existence, and about twelve years ago came to the United
States. He was employed for several years by Tiffany & Co. of New
York, the largest jewelry dealers in this country, after which he came to
California and established himself in business at Red Bluff. After a
period of four years Mr. Zoberbier went to Paris, France, remaining
there two years, and upon his return to this country, entered the employ
of Frank Golden at Carson City, Nevada. He came to Nevada City in
January, 1595, purchasing the business established by Mr. Golden.
Mr. Zoberbier is an expert watchmaker and repairer, and also makes a
specialty of engraving, manufacturing, etc. He is a popular gentleman,
and has many friends throughout the State.

Few persons occupy a higher position in the
estimation of the people of Nevada City than does
Walter D. Vinton, the enterprising proprietor of
the Nevada drug store. His reputation for integrity and all the other
commendable qualities of heart and mind constitutes established credentials of which anyone might well feel proud. Mr. Vinton was born in
San Francisco, in October, 1856, and lived there until thirteen years of
age, when he came to Nevada City, arriving in the year 1867. He
attended school for awhile and in 1870 entered the drug store of E. M.
Preston, where he Jearned the business of druggist and apothecary. In
1877 he bought out Mr. Preston and has conducted the business ever
since. In 1558 he married Miss Della Grissel, one of Nevada City’s
fascinating and popular young ladies. Their only child is a daughter six
years of age. Mr. Vinton is deserving of great credit for the advancement he has made, working his way up from errand boy to druggist and

finally becoming proprietor of one of the best paying drug stores in this
part of the State. He is full of energy and is an indefatigable worker,
never being idle very long atatime. In addition to the drug business
he carries a full line of stationery, and is also agent for the two oldest
fire insurance companies in the world. He is also resident agent for the
Sunset Telephone Company, the central office occupying space in the
rear portion of the store. Although his duties are many and varied he
never neglects any of them, and in all his business and personal transactions is very punctual. It is really gratifying to know that such a man
is prospering. Both Mr. Vinton and his wife are fond of company, and
at their nicely arranged home on Broad Street, entertain their guests in
royal manner. Mr. Vinton’s place of business is in the Odd Fellows’
building, and is nicely fitted up and always kept scrupulously neat and
clean, two things about which the proprietor is very particular.
