Ricketts, Pillsbury, Blanding & Hayne) - Financial services (N.K. Masten - securities and loans) - Building/lumber companies (Mahoney Bros., Shasta Lumber Company) - The Humboldt Mineral Water Company (featured prominently in the center) The **central illustration** shows a detailed architectural drawing of what appears to be the Crocker Building, promoting it as "The Magnificent New Crocker Building" — likely advertising it to potential tenants or investors.
