Standard Oil was a monopoly and used questionable business tactics to suppress competition. Following the passage of antitrust legislation, Standard Oil was eventually dissolved in 1911 when the United States Supreme Court ruled that it was an illegal monopoly. Standard Oil was subsequently broken into forty-three companies including BP, Chevron, and ExxonMobil.

H. Fisher & Co. Dealers in Fireworks; Dealers in Foreign and Domestic Nuts; Manufacturing Confectioners. 508-510 J Street. 507-509 Oak Ave. Agents for Portland Cracker Co." The Capital Candy Company, also known as the Capital Candy & Cracker Company, was a candy and snack business based in Sa. In 1902, it bought out its predecessor, H. Fisher & Company (this billhead, dated 1900, still names H. Fisher & Co. within the illustrated header). The address of 508-510 J Street was that of H. Fisher & Company, but the Capital Candy Company moved locations after acquiring the former. Although not named on the billhead, George C. Sherman (1868-?) figured prominently in the history of the Capital Candy Company. Sherman had been born in 1868 in Nevada County but received his education in Sacramento. At a young age, Sherman entered the candy and cracker business and worked for H. Fisher & Company. When H. Fisher was bought out by the Capital Candy Company, Sherman remained with the business to become one of its managers.

A Very Good copy. An original billhead from Baker and Hamilton to F. (Frank) Kunsting of Franklin, California. Kunsting purchased one line item to be shipped via stage. The item may be "bale wire." The printed header reads, "Baker and Hamilton, Importers, Jobbers and Manufacturers of Hardware, Agricultural Implements and Vehicles. Manufactory: Benicia, California. Nos. 109 to 115 J St., and 920 to 922 2d St., Sacramento, Cal.; Junction Market, Pine and Davis Streets, San Francisco, Cal." Some of the other printed text reads, "Mill, Mining and Railroad Supplies; Bicycles and Bicycle Supplies; Engines & Boilers; Dairy and Cheese, Factory Supplies." Baker and Hamilton was a general store and agricultural supply company founded by Livingston Baker and Robert Hamilton. While Baker was originally from Boston and Hamilton was from Scotland, they both left their respective homes in 1849 and eventually met in the gold fields of California. However, they found that gold mining was not economical and instead focused on selling supplies and provisions to miners. Baker and Hamilton worked for Colonel J. L. L. F. Warren, also of Boston, who had opened a store specializing in agricultural and mining equipment on the American River. They purchased Warren's business in 1853 knowing, like Warren, that selling agricultural supplies could be a financial success in California. Baker and Hamilton opened another location in San Francisco in 1868 (and additional locations in Los Angeles and New York based on the billhead) and went on to become one of the most successful agricultural supply firms in the American West. One of Baker and Hamilton's Sacramento buildings still stands to this day.

Whittier, Fuller & Co. was formed in 1868 as the result of a merger between the businesses of William Parma Fuller (1827-1890) and William Franklin Whittier (1832-1919), the latter of whom was the surviving partner of Cameron, Whittier & Company. Fuller also appears to have co-founded Fuller & Heather in 1857 in Sacramento which, in turn, was another predecessor of Whittier, Fuller & Co. After the merger, Whittier, Fuller & Co. became one of the most successful paint companies on the West Coast. In the 1970s, W. P. Fuller & Co. was bought out by the O'Brien Corporation. The resulting company, Fuller O'Brien Paints, was eventually acquired by ICI Paints in 1995.
