S. L. LAW & CO.� The representatives of the above firm are S. L. and P. E. Law, who were born in Chicago, 
Illinois. Their parents are natives of New York city, but moved to Chicago in 1837, being numbered 
among the pioneers. Their father dealt largely in real estate, and was at one time owner of Hyde Park. 
These enterprising young men came to Santa Barbara in 1888, bringing with them a $12,000-stock of 
well-selected gents' furnishing goods, hats, etc. By marked activity and close attention to business their 
store ranks with the first of the city. They make specialties of Knox's hats, of New York, and Stetson's, 
of Philadelphia. 

S. L. Law was married in Santa Barbara in May, 1889, to Miss Martha M. More, a daughter of T. Wallace More.
