LANDIS HOSPITAL AND CLINIC
VALUABLE ASSET
Modern hospitalization in cities
and towns worthy of the name is a
conceded hallmark indicative of civic
pride and a sincere desire on the
part of thinking men and women to
provide such facilities as are most
“necessary and essential to suc -essinland varied
ly cope with the many
contingemeies coming under the category of all manner of physical infirmities to which humanity is heir.
On the other hand, wherever well
managed and well maintained hospital aceommodation is lacking, communities so affected sustain a Toss
in county, state and national p tige
that cannot be estimated from the
yiewpoint~of dollars and cents.
While. therefore, summarizing in
this progress edition the more outstanding things that have, upward of one hundred years, kept Nevada County’s potential greatness
constantly in the publie eye, we have!
also endeavoted to set forth a faithfor

effectively as to have deservedly won

much merited credit cannot be a)

Landis Hospital and Clinic which,
during the four years ofence, has made an indelible jmpressfon for great good in Nevada County’s twin cities, and the county as
whole. :
By virtue of Nevada County's
mesely rich, developed, partially developed and as vet undeveloped, mineral territory, to say nothing of numerous other valuable, virgin, natural
resources, it is the consensus of opinion in well informed rehabilitation
circles, that as an ideal scenic and
health location for desirable, yearround homesites, coupled with contirnous new undertakings in business and industry, Nevada County}
faces a bright and prosperous future
and is destined, ‘ere long, to accommodate a population that wil) compare favorably with any of the state’s
more densely settled. rural localitles. ' :
From this viewpoint, if no other,
the Landis Hospital and Clinie has
already come to be looked upon, indeed, welcomed, as a permanent
county asset of major importance to
the well being of every thinking
property owner and discerning wage
earner domiciled within the county’s
borders, and the wide territory
around. Not only is this splendid institution a shining example of approved 20th Century procedure in
well ordered and scrupulously managed hospitalization, but in a literal
sense, it deserves to be looked upon
the

that a grateful, local people could
possibly pay to its far-sighted creator and responsible head in the person of Doctor Richard P. Landis.

Their business was very successincreased se much that it
was necessary to have more space. On
a warm June day in 1874, they moved into the building at 306 Broad
street, the present building of the
A. Hartung store. After moving into
this new building, the Brand-Luetje company increased their stock -f
goods a great deal.
In the winter of 1875, "Mr. A. Hartung was broken in as an apprentice
by Mr. Luetje. Mr. Hartung served
for five years in that capacity and

the firm name of A. and H. W. Hartung. The partnership continued un. til. 1916, when it was dissolved by
. mutual consent. H. W. Hartung took
over the Grass Valley store and A.
Hartung continued in the Nevada
City store. This Grass Valley store
was purchased from Carl Zapf, Mr.
A. Hartung and son, Everett, H. W.
Brand formed 2 co-partnership under the name of BE. W. Hartung and
Company. Owing to the death of E.
W. Hartung, this partnership was
dissolved later and H. W. Hartung
took over, by purchase, the entire
stock and good will of the firm.
There are a few people, perhaps, who
can remember an exprosion about
this time in Nevada City. It was a
‘dynamite explosion and blew out a)most all the narow store windows
in town. Because of this, the present
plate glass window was installed.
Herman W. Brand, who had learned the jewelers’ trade under his
father was accepted as a full partner by his father in 1897. This
jewelry. company was known as the
C. J. Brand and Son Jewelry Store.
It is interesting to note that at one
time there were five people working
in this store.
The Brand family continued the
business until 1925: The male members of the family having passed on,
the mother and daughter decided to
close out the business and conducted a sale of the fixtures. Mr. A.
Hartung purchased their fixtures and
put in a stock of jewelery and silverware and has continued the business
successfully up to the present time,
assisted ably by Miss Maude Keenan, who has been an employee in
ithe store since 1922.
One can readily understand the
pride that not only the owner of such
la business feels in its long and honiorable history, but also that of Nevada City’s old time families who
still uses and esteem silverware,
watches and clocks purchased from
A. Hartung and the members of the
Brand and Hartung families in years
agone. Honest craftsmanship and
honest values endure in honor
through the years.
