Thanking Portland’s PDC and
Port leaders and staff for helping
launch the new est and second largest
processine facility built bv Cintas
Corp., Scott Farm er, son of Corpora-
tion Chairm an Dick Farm er, stated
what a pleasure it is to work with and
to receive so much help from the
dedicated group o f economic devel
opm ent staffs at the Port, Portland
developm ent Com m ission, Oregon
Economic Development Department,
CIDA, M cCormack Pacific and many
others who had a part in helping to
develop their new plant facility in
Portland. Portland should be proud of
these people and in this experience,
he had found few com m unities where
they received this kind of service and
support, every step o f the way, to
develop their plants and facilities
which number some 100 processing
plants and branches nationwide.
he went on to say that Portland’s
gain would be Seattle’s loss because
the new facility would, when com
pleted, process more than 200,000
pounds of industrial laundry each
T
week, about half o f that coming from
their Seattle laundering facility. The
new plant will also process uniforms,
towels and dust control products from
a new branch operation to be located
in Eugene next year. The Rivergate
plant is scheduled to be completed
n e x t J u ly , a c c o rd in g to R o ss
V anderhye, Corporate Engineer, and
it will include some o f the most inno
vative labor and cost saving, environ
m ental friendly equipm ent and sys
tems available in the industrial laun
dering industry today.
The new plant site is located at
the N ortheast com er o f North Lom
bard Street and North Ramsey Road
Blvd. in South Rivergate.
C intas Corporation, the uniform
people, is a $450-m illion dollar de
signer, m anufacturer and retailer o f
uniforms for corporate identity pro
gram s and is based in C incinnati,

The seven-day holiday is o b
served from December 26 to January
1 and is based on seven principles:
unity, self determination, collective
work and responsibility, cooperative
economics, purpose, creativity and
faith. Each night celebrants observe
one of these themes with a candle-
lighting ceremony followed by activi
ties which reflect that day’s theme.
Gifts are given to the children on the
last day of the festival for the good work
they have done throughout the year.
