BOX FACTORY IS AID TOFARMERS Local Institution Supplies Needs of Growers and Business Houses Fortunate indeed are the farmers and fruit growers of Linn and Ben- ton counties, in that they do not have ; to send away from the city to buy their cratea and boxes. Much money is saved in freight and cartage in ad dition to keeping Linn county money in Linn county through the operations ' of the Cabinet and Box factory oper ated by Roner brothers at Water and ' Jackson Streets. j J. C. and A. M. Roner were born I in Bohemia and learned the cabinet ; making trade in their native land, j They emigrated to America and lived for a time in Nebraska, going Irom ' there to Scio, where they lived three years. They came to A Ibany 18 years ago and bought the old From ahop near the site of their present mill. ) During their 18 years in this city : they have built up a substantial buai neaa, and with the development of the ! amall fruit industry they are looking forward to a great increase in the use of their products. While their ousineas w niosuy uxu at present, . they ship large quantities of boxes ( and crates to Medford, Grants Pass ! and other fruit growing sections of the state. In addition to making fruit boxes they furnish crates for packing and shipping butter, meats and other pro ducts shipped from Albany. They are expert cabinet makers and have turned out many beautiful ex amples of their art in library tables, stands, cabinets, floor lamps and other wares. Although Roner brothers do most of their own work, at times in the year they employ considerable ad ditional help, which adds to the pay rolls of the city. UUilMUUIWUHIWlUilUl lUMIIMUUUIUiaiUtMl
