MOORE & BACON. � The gentlemen comprising the firm of Moore & 
Bacon, proprietors of the meat market at Lakeport, are both in the prime of 
manhood and possess a very correct knowledge of the wants of their customers, 
in whose interests they devote their best energies to the securing of first- 
class grades of beef, pork and mutton, and to the maintenance of a modern 
and model sanitary equipment in both the shop and the slaughter yard. The 
Cyclops refrigerator system in the market is unsurpassed in general arrange- 
ment and convenience as well as from the standpoint of sanitation. It is the 
aim of the proprietors to give every customer courteous attention, full weight, 
perfect quality of meat and a square deal in every respect, and so well have 
they succeeded in their aim that it is said no shop in California sells finer 
meats than can be found here. This is due not only to their care in the buy- 
ing of stock, but also to the fact that they personally superintend the fat- 
tening of the cattle from October to April and thus finish off a carload or 
more of beeves of exceptional merit. At the same time they fatten each year 
from seventy-five to one hundred head of sheep and these they slaughter for 
sale in their market. By following this rule of personal selection and fattening 
of all stock, they secure for customers meats of known quality from animals 
invariably fat and healthy. Ample capital enables the firm to conduct their 
business on a cash basis and with a view to future needs, so that they are able 
to buy at more attractive figures and thus give the customers the advantage 
of rates greatly appreciated in these days of exorbitantly-priced meats.
