PROMINENT GRASS VALLEY BUSINESS MEN One of the oldest established and best known WM. CAMPBELL grocery and provision stores in Nevada County is that of Win. Campbell, at Boston Ravine or South Grass Valley. This store enjoys a large patronage and its goods are always standard. It was started in 1856 by Campbell & Ashby as a grocery, provision and general merchandise store, with bakery attached, and continued by them until 1860, when Mr. Ashby disposed of his interest to Alexander Stoddard. Messrs. Campbell and Stoddard conducted the business until 1877, when Mr. Stoddard retired. Since that date Mr. Campbell has successfully conducted the business, being ably assisted by hisson. Mr. Campbell is a native of Scotland, and was born in 1528. He came to California in 1851, and after spending about a year in Placer County, came to Grass Valley in April, 1852. He has been a resident of this city since, and excepting a few trips to his birth place and the Eastern States, has lived in Grass Valley. Mr. Campbell is energetic in mining enterprises, being interested in a number of mines. Ife has an elegant home in course of erection on Church Street, his former mansion having been destroyed by fire in the early part of this year, Cc Much of the success of a mercantile house depends upon its management, and this fact cannot be more fully illustrated than in the success of Clinch & Company, the grocers of this city. The management of the immense business of this firm has been entrusted to Charles E. Clinch, a native son of the golden West, who first saw the light of day in El Dorado County, in 1858. He came to Grass Valley in 1866, and attended the public schools. Mr. Clinch entered the employ of A. J. Foster as clerk and salesman, and remained in this position for ten years, or until the formation of the firm of Clinch & Co. He has since successfully managed this firm and the house of Clinch & Co. is known all over the State. Mr. Clinch was elected public administrator some years ago, holding the office one term. He is popular socially and takes an active part in every enterprise for the benefit of Grass Valley or Nevada County. Mr. Clinch has a neat and comfortable home at the corner of School and Neal St:eets. CHAS. E. CLINCH 8 . W. LOUTZENHEISER & SON JOHN G. LOUTZENHEISER is one of the oldest business houses in Nevada County. since Mr. Loutzenheiser decided to The apothecary shop, as it was called in ‘tye olden time,’’ was a most important one in the community. The same is true today and the modern drug store can be found in every neighborhood and community, but we doubt if a more complete pharmacy than that of W. Loutzenheiser & Son can be found on the Pacific Coast. This well-known and popular establishment enjoys a reputation second to no store in California, and physicians or patients having their medicines compounded at this store, can rely upon their accuracy and genuineness. Their stock iscomplete in every detail and nothing but the very best is kept. Prescriptions are prepared by careful and expert apothecaries, and the store is deservedly popular. This business was established in 1851 by Wm. Loutzenheiser, Sr., and A few years retire from active business and disposed of an interest in the store to his son, John G. Loutzenheiser, a thorough pharmaceutis. The business has prospered, and its reputation is so well established that no encomium is necessary or justifiable.

He attended a eissbein, junior member of the banking Weissbein Bros. & Co., was born in ymnasium similar to our high school, where he obtained a command of languages.
