WARRENTON STUDIO 389 S. Main St. | 503-861-1971 www.maddoxdancers.com email: maddoxdancers@opusnet.com Del Thompson went to work for OK Rubber Welders in 1952. Then in 1962 he bought the business. In 1978 Klyde took over as manager and co-owner with Harriet Thompson. He bought out Harriet in 1997, so Klyde and his wife Mary Kaye are the present owners. Now a member of the fastest growing tire group of independent dealers in the northwest, The Tire Factory has over 200 locations and growing.

A few years after they opened the gift shop, the Ter Hars added clothing to their inventory, and soon they became a clothing store. Because the apartment was, according to Bud “too valuable a space to be living in,” the Ter Hars moved in 1958 to a house in Gearhart, where Jean continues to live. Bud died in 2009. TER HAR’S is a clothing store in Seaside and Cannon Beach. But more than that, Ter Har’s is a family affair, and it has been for over 64 years. As the Ter Har family celebrates over 64 years in business, they recall when Seaside was a town of vacant lots and business was seasonal. Then, the “season” then lasted four months a year, and many stores were closed for several months, Jeff recalled. The Ter Har name became known in the area in 1951, when the young Bud and Jean Ter Har, fresh from Seattle, bought the former Merriman Hotel in Seaside. In addition to the three-story hotel, the Ter Hars operated a small gift store. Bud and Jean knew the gift business: He had worked as a traveling salesman for a gift company when the couple lived in Seattle. They lived in the back of the store for seven years. While Jean rented rooms The clothing store with the black-and- white awning was torn down when Trendwest Inc. bought it and other property they owned along Broadway and the Prom in 2001 to build its condominium resorts. The Ter Hars became owners of the first floor of the building and not only continue to operate their store in a Broadway storefront, but rent out other storefronts to businesses all the way to the Prom. In addition to the Seaside store, they have operated stores in Astoria and Long Beach, Wash. In 1991, the Ter Hars opened the Cannon beach store, which continues to operate today. In total, the Ter Hars own six commercial buildings that have 34 different businesses operating in them. All of the properties are in Clatsop County. Jean and Bud always believed in reinvesting in Seaside by opening other storefronts. This gives people opportunities to prosper in business. 64 years Besides their financial investment in Clatsop County, however, the Ter Hars also invest their time in the community. They often can be seen supporting athletic teams and other student organizations in the Seaside schools. Bud, Peter and Jeff have had associations with the Seaside Downtown Development Association and The Seaside Chamber of Commerce (all three had a turn as Chamber President). With the business Jean, Jeff & Pavi are able to work and contribute with the Assistance League Columbia Pacific to help clothe children in the county. Pavi is an active member in Assistance League. “It’s important not only for us to let our customers have a good shopping experience, but we’re also like a mini chamber of commerce,” Jeff said. “People need to know we have an aquarium, a two-mile Prom and where to get seafood.” We’ve appreciated all of our employees over the years, past and present, we couldn’t have done it without your dedicated contribution. The firm was established in 1948. It was owned and operated by Forrest Vaughn until 1984 when it was purchased by Dick Bartoldus. On January 1, 1996 it was sold to Chuck Thompson, Mark C. Thompson and Mike Thomas and is now located at North Tongue Point.
