Allhough, Portland docs nol sil on
ihe Mississippi the distinctive tastes of
such fine foods as jambalaya, gumbo
and crab soup can now be shared in the
Northwest. Ragin’ Cajun Market, Inc. a
Portland based company has been in
existence in the area for approxiamlely
4 1/2 years. The owners, Sam Patton,
Art Oliver, Linda Oliver are from the
Louisiana area. Another of the com­
pany’s owners, David McNeil hails from
Trinidad.
Without question Louisiana has
produced some of the finest cuisine in
the country, particularly, from the New
Orleans area. The family of Ragin’ Cajun
Market, Inc. has sought to bring to the
Northwest the unique flavors of Lou­
isians. The aromas of authentic creole
and cajún cooking can be enjoyed by
those whom do not with to travel all the
way to Louisiana to enjoy the fine foods.
Ragin’ Cajun Market, Inc. saw its
first customer when it opened a shop
located at 24th and NE Broadway. The
original concept was to bring the finest
foods of Louisians to the people of the
Northwest. Customers were soon com­
ing from as far north as Seattle and as far
south as Eugene and Springfield. Mail
order business soon developed as a re­
sult of the ability to ship anyhwere. The
decision was made to close the shop and
concentrate on mail order. Soon after
we felt in order to establish ourselves
even further we should develop our
own line of products. A year and a half
was spent developing the producLs and
in June of 1990 started offering them
wholesale to the retail and restaurant
markets. We package everything from
seasonings to pre-mixed packages of
gumbo, jambalaya and hushpuppy mixes.
All any cook would need to do is add
v. hatever stock is needed. W e’ve pack­
aged everything else for you. Our prod­
ucts contain no additives, preservatives,
or food coloring.
Ragin’ Cajun Market, Inc. often
receive travel related questions regard­
ing Louisiana. We usually arc able to
answer our client’s questions or are
able to locate a source of information
for them. Many of the questions range
from where they might be able to get
some of the best foods, to what antebel­
lum homes are the ones to visit. W e’re
able to let people know there is more to
Louisiana than just visiting New Or­
leans’ Bourbon Street. A number of
cities in southwest Louisiana have tours
that go into the bayous. Some of these
are flat bottom boat tours as well as
motorized tours. Sometimes our clients
would like to get off the beaten track
and try something different. We try to
help them if at all possible and when­
ever possible.

Doesn't Want Kids
To Smoke
One of the most trying aspects of being a
parent is encouraging your child to make the
right choices — not just to follow along. In
today's complex society, growing up involves
more pressures and choices than ever before.
Studies show that young people do things
because their friends do. Smoking is one
of those things.
We don't want children and teenagers
to smoke.
That's why the tobacco industry is offering
a booklet aimed at helping parents meet the
challenge of providing their children with the
tools to resist peer influence. The booklet,
“Tobacco: Helping Youth Say No." is
designed to keep parents and children

communicating about important issues like
smoking.
To continue its longstanding commitment
that smoking is not for young people, the
tobacco industry also has strengthened its
marketing code and is supporting state
legislation to make it tougher for young
people to buy cigarettes. We are also
working with retailers for strict compliance
with state laws prohibiting sales of cigarettes
to minors.
