There was an established woolen mill, a linen works, glove factory, two rug companies Fluf Rug and Angora. One company is engaged in making furniture and boilers, there is one large iron works and lesser machine shops and those for repairs of automobiles. Seven Fruit canneries operate in season and do a combined business that amounts to several millions dollars yearly. Nice Things to Eat. There are two large bread baking companies, two big creameries, an Ice cream company, two ice-making companies, with cold storage. Some of these do business from $100,000 a year up. Several candy works exist of various sizes. One milling company makes flour and millstuffs, and another ground feed. The State of Oregon has two large industrial establishments here, a flax fiber factory and the state printing office. Other printing shops do a big business during the year. There is one book-binding shop. Two daily papers, morning and evening, as well as other print shops employ many people and have yearly products that total in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. A furnace factory has trade of wide extent and another is following in the same path. In spite of the automobiles, Salem has a prosperous harness and saddlery works. No well-regulated city is without a brick and tile works Salem has it and a sand and gravel cement tile factory, including tile roofing products. Big Linen Mill Coming By a co-operative plan that practically covers most of the Willamette valley, with Salem the center, there is now being organized a linen mill that will cost $600'000 and will at the start employ 250 people. This valley has superior soil adaption to the production of flax of a high grade of fiber excellence. By arrange ment with the farmers, about 5,000 acres will be planted, and pulled for the mill. This will make a wider range of cropping receipts for the growers and add extensively to their earnings. Thi3 linen mill has been located at Salem, and the establishment is expected to be in operation during 1926. This one factory will add not less than 1,000 to the population of Salem, not to overlook the many additional persons who will be given work in the farm flax fields. The time is coming fast when this very fertile and salubrious valley will be a teeming beehive of human industry and prosperity. Of all of North America, it has one of the most perfect equations of climate, materials, economic con ditions, including wide and growing markets, not to forget for a moment the general excellent Home environments that exist education, moralshealth, abundance of fruits and other foods.
