Hi* m a te rn a l grandparents came to Oregon across the plains—to Salem, and a few ‘years later moved to Astoria. The house in which Mr. Reed was born is still standing on the corner of Third and Bond Streets. He has memories of many unique experience* in the old Altona, when much of the city was built on stilt* over the water, and the boy* fished through cracks in the Main Street sidewalks. Often he rode with his father on Columbia River steam boats, and still remembers the thrill of seeing the steamer “Haasalo” shoot the rapid« at Cascade Locks in 1888 He also rode on the first railroad train to travel between Astoria and Portland, an excursion trip in 1897 of the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad — winning the trip by selling souvenir badges to excursionists. Mr. Reed went to work in 1899 ill the Peterson A Brown Shoe Store. After the Astoria fire, he and Albert Grimberg started the present Reed A Grimberg Shoe Store in a tiny building on Exchange Street. Later they established their modern store at its present location on Commercial Street.
