	proprietor Sacramento Market, 308 and 310 K street; was 
born in Switzerland in 1843; attended school until 1857; then came to California 
alone, arriving in Sacramento January 15, 1858; engaged in merchandising in a 
small way in fruit, nuts, &c.; then worked as a florist in San Francisco for two 
years. In 1863 he invested all his capital in trying to establish a successful 
business in raising silk worms; it proved a failure, and he lost everything. In 
1867 he commenced business on Front street, Sacramento---first keeping a fruit 
store and afterwards a restaurant---until 1872, in which year he started his 
present business on K street, of fruits, provisions, and general family 
supplies, which has increased continuously each year since its establishment.
