WEEK: AND HE GETS PRIZE: PERFORCE
S
GOOD GROWTH HERE
Wholesaling
Salem Is a wholesaling center.
There being an abundance of farm
products and manufactured arti
cles turned off in this section.
Salem, of course, would naturally
have numerous wholesaling firms.
Wholesaling Is confined to the ar
ticles produced in this section and
supplies which are produced else
where and are needed for local
consumption. , An example of a
wholesaling firm which handles
goods produced elsewhere is the
Daniel J. Fry. Drug company.
which deals in drugs.
The good roads which are in the
Salem district are the result of re
cent Improvements. These Im
provements have accelerated
wholesaling, Iqt those who deal
with rural, suburban 'and village
stores. The fruit and produce
companies have received the great
est benefit from these good roads.
A Wide Distribution ,
We may say that Salem's eight
canneries and her several packing
plants are of necessity wholesalers
of their, products. The paper
mills, paper converting plant, lum
ber companies, woolen mills, lin
en mills and orliers, although
manufacturers, are also wholesal
ers. These different products re
quire from a local to a national
and even world wide distribution.
Portland, the largest shipping cen
ter in Oregon, and the closest port
to the Salem district, has a large)
export, of which a large per cent
comes from the Salem district.
Through wholesaling, the products
of the above mentioned concerns
and plants find a local, national
and world wide distribution. A
great many products are shipped
out by rail from Salem, with
either other points in the United
States as their destination or to
Atlantic seaports for shipping to
foreign markets. One firm, Hyde
and company, who do consider
able wholesaling, ship by rail.
Every year they" ship hundreds of
carloads of seed potatoes, straw
berry plants, and various nursery
stock. They also ship several
carloads of moss for packing pur
poses. Building

'Will Climb Steadily
It is difficult to estimate the
number of people employed In
wholesaling, because many who
are engaged in this work are also
engaged in manufacturing and
processing of the products. It is
safe to say, however, that between
50 and 109 people are engaged in
the wholesaling of hops every
year. There is also considerable
wholesaling done by the large re
tailers. The wholesaling business has
been climbing steadily and will
continue to do. so In the future.
The growth of Salem is in a mea
sure due to new industries. The
resourcefulness of the Salem dis
trict has been bringing these new
industries. One of the latest of
these Industries is the paper con
verting plant. These new indus
tries of course require wholesale
distribution and therefore we have
an increase in wholesaling.

PIOB IfJ FIELD
The earliest wholesaler and job
ber in his line in Salem and one
who has been here all the time
since he begun business, and-Jio
has kept growing all the ' time
with the eity's growth, and who
has always assisted in that growth
with energy and loyalty, is George
E. Watersr the tobacconist. Mr.
Waters opened business January
1, 1891. when he was a young
chap with a long head for busi
ness, and he has met with success
every day since. In his whole
sale and jobbing operations he
supplies the trade in a radius of
25 to 30 miles.
t The advantageous position of
Salem as' a jobbing point was so
well made known by Mr. Waters
to the manufacturers and import
ers of the goods which he handles
that he was enabled long since to
deal with them directly and .to
place himself upon an equal foot
ing with the biggest wholesalers
on the coast. That is the great
necessity -to secure terminal buyA
ing advantages. Salem has the
field of consumption for all lines
and has a most favorable means
of distribution so that the man or
company that can. purchase on an
equal basis' with, the big concerns
is sure of succesS;in this location:
&fr. Waters has that advantages
The volume of trade enjoyed by
Mr. Waters in cigars, tobaccos and
smoker's sundries, and in candy;
gum and other specialties, is large;
and his warehouse would surprise
the average person in the amount
of merchandise carried. He is lo
cated at "229 State street, where
he has a commodious show room
and pleasant offices.

Their new building is 121x222

be used at other seasons for stor
ing potatoes, onions, etc.
The Salem branch has been do
ing business in Salem for 18 years.
It is one of a chain of related
stores, each serving a local com
munity. The Salem branch stands
well up in the group of 45 stores
reaching all the way from Belling
ham. Wash., to the Mexican line
in the volume of its turnover and
the satisfactory quality and
growth and outlook of its business.
It is only below some of the lar
ger cities like Seattle, Tacoma,
Sacramento, Salt Lake City, etc.
Seven of the branches are new,
mostly in Idaho and.Utah.
Milt Adams, with headquarters
in Eugene, is superintendent of a
group of six stores, at Salem, Eu
