Mint Success
Brings Fame
To W. Toicerys
STAYTON A Stayton family,
the William Towerys, who operate
two mint farms in this area, is
featured this month in ads of the
First National .Bank of Portland
in its "Building Oregon Together"
series.
After farming in California,
New Mexico and Oklahoma for
14 years without any particular
success, the William Towerys tried
their luck in Oregon and the
scented fields have yielded sweet
profits. They also operate one of
the largest stills to distill the mint
oil.
Back in 1925, Miss Maurice Cox
visited her sister, Mrs. Yancy Mc
Gill, near here. Another guest in
the McGill home was William
Towery, a single man. Later in
the year, they were married" in
California.
The. Towerys packed and arriv
ed first in Oregon at Dever in
Linn county. Not long afterward,
in 1939, they rented 52 acres in
the North Santiam district, which
was later bought by them and is
now the home place. Another
place of 80 acres is near Jeffer
son. eight miles away.
Towery grew a diversified crop
when he took over the North
Santiam farm, raising vegetables
for the canneries and the fresh
markets in Portland and Califor
nia.
Towery went into mint growing
seriously about five years ago,
obtaining the first roots from
Brownsville.
Combining with relatives and
friends Towery first built a two-
tub still. Buyers from as far east
but today they have co-operated
with others and operate a five-
ub still. Buyers from as far east
as Kalamazoo, Mich., now buy the
oil from the Stayton area, and a
new station was recently estab
lished at Talbot.
