HAS MANY AMBITIONS
Body Responsible for Many Achievements of City. During
Past Years, ¿ a s Had Name Chamber of Commerce
More Than Five Yean.
(J. H, Fuller, Secreary Chamber of Commerce)
The Ashland ehamber of commerce has existed un
der that name since October 7, 1920. For fourteen years
prior to that date it was the Ashland Commercial Club,
becoming such May 8, 1906, when it succeeded to the
Board of Trade.
,
The history of the organization during these years
and under these various titles is the history of Ashland
during its period of greatest progress, and the names
connected with these various phases of activity are those
who throughout the entire time have continued to sup
port and to work for Ashland’s growth and improvement.
On the date above mentioned, May 8, 1906, at a meet
ing ;n the City Hall, with K. V. Carter, temporary chair
man, and C. H. Pierce temporary secretary, the first
steps toward organizing the Commercial Club were taken
and three nights later at another meeting the chairman
announced that eighty three members of the desired one
hundred had signed the roll as fully paid members and
that there was $830.00 in the treasury. At this meeting
permanent officers were chosen as follows: E. V. Carter,
president; W. M. Grey, vice president; J. A. Harvey,
secretary; A. McAllen, treasurer, with A. L. Aiken, Otto
Winter, and C. W. Nims as members of the executive
board.

during the Incumbency of the

steps were taken toward a re-or-
gknlzation campaign for new
memberships and change of namo
bnt the change effected was only
a step ahead in increased acli-
vity in some lines and with the
same ever faithful group
of
workers who have ever seen In
Ashland, great undeveloped pos
sibilities, ideal home privileges,
and an opportunity to devote
themeslves to a future here.
The last five years have been
only a reaping of the harvest
which these former officers and
members planned all through the
records of more than twenty
years of Commercial Club actl-
ment, cannery, normal school,
and other schools, celebrations,
caravans, exhibits, fairs, watch
ful care of our water supply, and
many other things which went
• to better Ashland.

ustrations of Ashland’s growth
qnd progress sometime during
the next few weeks we w ill re

Declares He Hopes to Have Finest.
Small Shop on Coast Within
Five Years
“ Within five years, I hope
to have ns modern and up
to date bakery as can lie
found on the Pacific Coast,”
declared 0. M. Franklin, lo
cal baker, owner of Frank
lin’s Bakery. “ Of course, it
will not bo as large as is
found in the larger cities,
but it will be just as mod
em, and just as efficient as
these shops,” Mr. Franklin
continued.
“ I have two boys, and I
intend to give them as thor
o>ugh a practical and tech
nical baking training As it
is possible to obtan. For
that reason, and also because
I know Ashland will juptify
the expenditure of tlie
amount of money that will
be necessary, that I am
about ready to start addi
tional improvements,” Mr.
Franklin declared.
However, although he is
looking into the future, Mr.
Franklin has far from for
gotten the present.
Three years ago, almost
to the day, Mr. Franklin en
tered the baking business in
Ashland. He had behind
him 25 years of baking ex
perience in some of the best
bake shops in the country.

Mr. F ranklin at first did a ll of
Hot tub sulphur baths.
Day hie own work. He wee producing
or night at JacksAn Hot Springt, only about 80 loaves each day,
t
» «-tf with his pastry trade in like
proportion. In addition to do
ing all the baking, and wa'iting
on trade, M r. F ra n k lin was his
own deliveryman. -
But he had confidence in Ash
land. L ittle by little his trade
grew, u til he was forced to move
Into more commodious quarters.
H e took possession ot a location
on Main street, next to the J. P.
Dodge and Sons store, where he
has remained since.
During the tim e he has been
In the business here, M r. F ra n k
lin ’s trade has grown from an
average dally bake of 80 loaves
to between two and three thou
sand loaves of bread per day.
During the summer season^ the
bake w ill run about 2,000 loaves
per day, M r. Franklin stated.
A ll products are scientifically
mixed, machinery being used ex
clusively In mixing the dough.
The dough Is mixed, cut into
loaves, and delivered to the ov
en by • electricity driven
ma
chines. The ovens are electrically
heated,' and are the latest type
manufactured.
A fter the bread is baked, it
Is delivered to a machine w him
wrapes every loaf separately in
a waxed wrapper.
Next year, M r. F ranklin will
Install additional machinery which
w ill make It possible to handle
every product turned out of the
shop without it being touched by
a human hand. This Will neces
sitate the expenditure o f . sever
al thousands of dollars, bat, Mr.
Franklin declares he has confi
dence in Ashland, is certain that
It will grow rapidly within the
near future, and that he wishes
to keep pace w ith the growth.
“ I have decided th a t Ashland
Is the city where I w ill spend the
rest of my .life. I Intend to build
up the best bake chop possible,
for I know that Ashland w ill, sup
port us in
the venture,
“ Mr.
F ranklin concluded.
Throughout the tourist season,
hundreds of visitors stop in the
shop for a few moments, anxious
to view one of the finest equipp
ed shops in the country.
Ashland has done well by Mr,
Frantflin, but Mr, Franklin Has
returned this good w ill, and then
added a little.
