Confidence Borne
Out by Time
Schilling and Volkmann,
Original Partners, Still
Owners of House
The Golden Anniversary of a San
Francisco business house Is being
celebrated today.
For It was fifty years ago this
morning tnat two young men, Au
gust Schilling and George F. Volk
mann, began at 122 Davis Street to
sell coffee, tea, spices, baking pow
der, and extracts to competition with
the great houses of the day. Many
called them rash to enter a field
apparently so well supplied, but
these scoffers did not know the
young men nor their principles.
Today those principles have been
vindicated, and "The House of
Schilling" stands as one of the Im
portant merchandising establish
ments of the nation. And It Is still
and controlled by those same
men who started it. wnen tneir
business opened on September 8.
1881. August Schilling and George
Volkmann were partners and today
they still control the enterprise they
started.
In this modern day of mergers
end combinations, many have won
dered that Schilling and Volkmanr
would want to hold to the business
they started. Friends of the pa
have answered every query with a
smile.
"SchlUlBg and Volkmann selif
KTeverl" these friends have said.
Does x man divorce his wife or.
their Golden Wedding Anniversary?
Not often I"
Schilling and Vo'.smans were bom
ten days apart. They ware each 27
years old when they becan that
enterprise on Davis Street, but
already they were wise In the busi
ness they had entered. Each had
been in the business several years,
working for others. But they wanted
the!; firm to be different.
Their policy was clear In thelr
rr.lr.ds when they started business
but it was some time later that
August Schilling put it down in
writing and passed it to his partner
to read. Or. tr.it, slip of paper Voll
r-tann .-cad:
Schlllinz , ouality ehi bs ti-.it
which a women out of 10 would wir.t
ii they knew all the f-ctt."
And in this manner the younj
business house bear. a "pure foods"
campaign Ions before the world ever
heard of the brilliant asaiot. Dr.
Harvey W. Wiley, whoso natlon-wido
efforts resulted in manufacturers
boins forced to tell the truth to tho
public In the labels on their mcr
I chandlse.
' The House of Echillir.s was an
early believer In a vlcorous advor
tislns campaign, and was tho orlj
lnator of many advertising "stunts"
now in common practice One of
these long beforo tho Pure Food
Laws came is still remembered by

AUGUST SCHILLING (above)
GEORGE T. VOLKMANN
There was no answer given for
days. But whon !t finally came It
astounded the good housewives of
the city.
For they discovered that for years
they had been buying as 'green tea"
an inferior grade of tea leaves dyed
green with harmful pisments! It
was "trlcke of the trade" such as
these which Schilling fearlessly re
vealed, and challenged the world to
show that lte product was not every
thing the label said It was.
And It was or. this policy of "tei:
ir.!! all the facta" that tho house
grow and p:a,oercd. Times chanxed.
pubiio tastes came end went, mer
chandising methods altered, r.w
laws woro pas:ed. Schilling v..4 al
ways abreast of tlx times, bu; in
one thing they never channel. It
was la tho first pledge in the r.aw
Djvis Street establishment when
Schilling and Volkmann wero ouito
unimportant In the mm-c'.iantile
world, that the firm did not ehnnje.
"Schilling quality shall bs t'-.xt
which 3 women out of 10 would want
If they knew all the facts."
That policy did not Chan??, nor
did the ownership of the company,
nor the relationship of the two men.
And that is why tho Golden Anni

up to post the band and we began
to wondsr whether we should go
back to camp or not so the camp
boss wouldn't have to chase out in
the woods after us to send us to the
fire. However, we stayad till our
eight hours wore up and got into
camp about 4 o'clock. X was the

Just finishing when the camp ioas
cams up from below, told us to quit
showers and get ready to go to tho
fire, we were ready to loavo for the
lower camp at 5:00, from which we
ware to leave at 8:30. By walking
fast we made It in an hour and a
quarter. When we got to camp one
ths smoke was boiling high in the

stsntly churning and rolling.

"Forty-seven of us got on .the in
side, sides and top of a 17-pas-
'aenger bus and away we went. When
jwe got there at about 7:30 we learn
I ed that the fire had covered 15
' miles from noon to seven o'clock.
We met several hysterical ' people
along the road who had been burned
out and who urged u to hurry. We
wor'icd hard till midnight, then
came up and got some sandwiches
and coffee, only I had to go up one
of the fire trails and bring down
the fellows who were patrollng, so
that really only seven or eight of
us had coffee. We then rested till
3 o'clock In the morning (Tuesday)
and went back to work, returning
at seven for a little breakfast when
we worked till 11. By that time
some men came In from a trail
camp so we went In and rested till
7 that night. It was too hot to
sleep, but we rested well. At seven
that night the B. R. C. men (blister
rust control) men went on night
patrol till five In the morning (Wed
nesday) when the trail camp men
. and some from Spokane took over.
From then we rested or slept till 3
o'clock Thursday morning when we
went to work and kept at It all day
with about eight or nine hours for
-leep that following night. We lost
very little trail on our front and
Hod the trail completed all along
our front by 10:30 Friday morning.
"We left Saturday evening for
camp In a one-ton Chevrolet truck
and everything went all right until
we hit a hill when the ; truck
wouldn't take compound low and
since It had no brakes we started
backing down the hill towards a
narrow bridge and the river. Red
couldnt see where we were going,
so he missed the turn and went
half way over the bank. Four fel
lows got their legs tangled up la
the ronea that held the sides sta-
tionary when they started to Jump
out. One was hanging over isb oacx
and would have been crushed If we
had hit the bridge. I waited till
most of the fellows had got out so
I would have room, and then dove
out head first. After ' I hit. I
looked up and there was the truct
leaning over me. one follow hang
ing by a foot, another under the
wheels and one more beside me.
We scrambled tip and trial to push
Jim up so that he could get his foot
loose and two more gotlnto the
trues and pulled on him while the
rest swarmed onto the othor sldo
to keoo ths truck from tlppins over.
It was remarkable the way no one
lost his wits and each did Just as
he should have dona. They are
all a fine bunch of rr.cn. Wo then
wont on without mishap and walked
about three miles of trail In dark
ness so black that you couldnx
see the man in front of you even
when you could roach out and
touch him. we Just put one foot
lr. front of tho other ani felt the
trail out.
