SCHNEIDER
BROS.
SCHNEIDER BROS.--An enterprising, very
successful and prosperous firm that has had an important part in the
development of Sacramento and Placer
County commerce, is Schneider Bros., the
proprietors of the popular auto-truck line for the handling of freight between Sacramento
and Auburn. Schneider Bros. Brought out the interests of
a concern already established; and their busy headquarters are at 124
K Street, Sacramento. They came to the capital in 1922, and opened
shop on the first day of April; and ever since they have been regarded as one
of the necessary fixtures of the city and its thriving environs.
Having
looked over the ground, and sized up the local situation with a deal of
far-sightedness, the Messrs. Schneider threw themselves into the project
optimistically, took up the gauntlet of “nothing dare, nothing share,” and the
results of their venture prove that their judgment was pretty sound; Sacramento
and Auburn and the wayside districts have responded and liberally supported
their excellent service. They operate
four trucks, besides an emergency truck, employing four men to assist them,
make four round trips every day between Sacramento and Auburn,
and maintain a regular schedule; and they use one truck to haul such perishables
as ice cream, delicate garden truck, etc.
They have never avoided, but on the contrary have sought opportunities
to help advance the commercial, industrial and social interests of this favored
part of the Golden State; and all who are informed as to what, through unremitting effort, unwearying
labor and the use of considerable capital, they accomplish, will agree that the
public owes the Messrs. Schneider Bros, at the very least many measures of
good-will and best wishes.
