Notwithstanding the gatielly of the proSede striate the exTHE STATIONERY ‘TRADE.
Gradually the light daw dawns upon us, and one
tion of ten years’ growth, are fast becoming
civilized. _ Not only the ruder marks of intelleet, as manifested in the various mechanical contrivances of our minés and farms, but
literature and the fine arts are taking unto
themselves s local habitation and a name in
our midst. Stationery follows closely upon
the heels of refinement, and few are
aware-of the extent and importance .of this
branch of our trade. The word get ra

the nature extent and quality of the community. Wherever you see a peat, well keptestablishment of this kind, with a gentlemanly and intelligent proprietor, you may be
sure you are in the midst of an intellectual,
refined and well informed people.
About two years ago, Mr. Albert L. Bancroft, brother of the eminent publisher and
bookseller, conceived the idea of taking Stationery and making it a separate and distinct
branch of trade, devoting his best energies
to that alone: No house exclusively stationery has as yet been started upon the Pacific
Coast. Accordingly, after having spent one
year in preparation, the requisite arrangements were consummated for receiving regular supplies from the mills and manufuctories
. of the United States, England, France and .
Germany, and the enterprise launched in
San Francisco, early in 1860, under the name
of A. L. Bancroft & Co., Mr. H. H, Bancroft becoming junior parties in the firm. .
So far it has proved a decided success,
there not being a town of any consequence
in California, Oregon, Washington or Utah
which does uot contain one or more customers of this house. Closely allied to the interests of this new firm, stands the old house
of H. H. Bancroft & Co., with its large
warerooms crowded. to overflowing with
beoks in every department of literature. The
customers of these two houses derive great

interior of the State, and we shalinot be surprised, some fine morning, to find him in Nevada. Well, when he comes, he wif_be
treated civilly, though our people will scare

after a sprig of royalty, as our Atlantic
brothers are doing with the heir-apparent of
‘Great Britain. By the by, when the Hawaiian
prince’s intended visit to California was first
announced, it was said that his physicians
had ordered him here for the benefit of his
health. Our Californian doctors are much
in the habit of sending their used-up patients
to the Sandwich Islunds, where they are sure
to die, and now, the Kanaka leechés appear
to be in the humor of reciprocating the compliment. It is-sincerely to be hoped, for the .
credit of our climate, that California will not .
deal as fatally with Kamehameha as his country has dealt with so many of our valetudinarians.
