Walrad Insurance
Notes 35th Year
Walrad Insurance Agency this
month marks the 35th year since
the business was established In
1928 by Burton Walrad.
The firm has grown from a one-
man agency to its present staff

Emerson and Jack Holmes, plus
two bookkeepers and four general
office girls, a total of 10 persons.
And the firm has its own spacious
building at 105 N. Roberts Ave. in
downtown Gresham.
Walrad didn’t wait long to go in
business for himself after gradua
ting from Gresham high school in
1921. The next year he started the
Gresham Transfer Co.
For six years he operated a gen
eral hauling and contract business,
selling out in 1928 to go into in
insurance.
As a young general insurance
man he concentrated on developing
his “home base” in the Gresham-
Sandy area. But he also traveled
to many logging camps in Central
and Southern Oregon to service ac
counts of logging firms.
Dave Hansen joined the firm as
a partner in 1956. The two sales
men are Emerson, who serves the
Sandy, Boring Estacada and Hood
land area, and Holmes, a Univer
sity of Oregon graduate formerly
with the Crown Zellerbach sales
staff in Los Angeles. Emerson went
to work for Walrad nine yeais
ago after 24 years with the Cor
bett school system.
Walrad and his wife LaVerne,
who were married in 1926, live
at 590 Wallula in Gresham. He is
the only charter member of the
Gresham Kiwanis club with an
unbroken record of membership.
He was the first president of the
Gresham Chamber of Commerce,
serving in 1931 and 1932.
