Product
"The Farmers' Friend" they call
him hit name is F. C Pate, prop
rietor of the Albany Pure Milk &
Cheese Co., with hit factory at the
corner of East Filth and Jackson
atreeta.
Cheese made the very day the milk
and cream is delivered, and ngcl
kin own cold atoraire room until mar
keted, is bound to become one of the
tanle food nroducta not only of Al
bany but of all the surrounding cities
and towns.
The year that Mr. Pate resigned
from the management of the Albany
exonerative Creamery Co.. 1915. he
established his new plant, and its
growth has been maraea irora we
first turn of the churn. From
comparatively small number of cus
tomers the list has been steadily
m-owint- until today his regular ship
pers number several hundreds, living
in all parti of Linn, Benton ana a
nart of Marion counties.
The capacity of the big chum- is
800 pounds, while at the same time
the plant can handle 10,000 pounds
of milk daily.
Mr. Pate has his own auto truck
- line, which brings in milk and cream
from nearhv farms in two counties.
The monthly payroll to farmers is
upward of $8,000. The highest mar
ket nriees are paid.
If necessary, Mr. Pate says he has
ground enough on which to add new
' Imildinra when occasion shall demand.
Last year's business, considering
. war prices and the increased cost of
production, was very satisfactory; and
he looks for a very much larger busi
ness during the year izu.

ALBANY CANNERY MAKES GOOD IN
FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION AND
GROWERS BEGIN TO REAP REWARDS
Those Foresighted Enough to Heed Call and Plant Small
Fruits Are Now Getting Benefit of Advantages; rarm
ers Are Urged to Plant Heavily of Small Fruits
By W. R. Scott
Two years ago the writer associat
ed himself with the Linn and Benton
Fruit Association, a corporation com-
posed of Albany business men with 1
Mr. W. H. Paulhamus. of Puyallup.j
Wash., as sales manager, with the
main idea qf promoting the planting
of sufficient acres of berries and tree '
fruits to warrent the building of a !
cannery here in Albany. We told the
farmers of the wonderful profits to'
be made in the fruit industry, now but j
in its infancy, in this great valley so
magnificiently adopted to the enter- j
prise, promised cash on delivery'
markets, free crates, free transporta-!
tion, looked up sources ofsupply of
trees, strawberry plants, logan and
raspberry tips, infact osdered them
supplying at net cost to assist in any 1
way to make it easier to start the in- j
dustry well knowing from our ex
perience of 20 years in the business in '
the Puypllup valley, what the out-'
come would be, once fairly started in '
and honest, earnest way. Contracts'
enough were signed to warrent Mr.
Panlhamus in recommending the tak
ing over of the Linn A Benton Fruit
Assn., by his company the Puyallup;
S. F. G. C. Co., which was done last
spring and a large modern cannery
now occupies the prettiest site on
the Willamette River on the 3 acre
tract bounded by the river, Main, !
Hill and First streets in Albany. The
main building is 96 by 208 feet, one
third -its length being two 'stories
high. This is for warehouse purpos
es, with concrete floor in the entire'
building. The boiler house is solid
brick construction 30 by 30 and hous
es a ISO horse boiler with ample
steaming capacity. Before the build
ing' was anywhere near completed we
started canning blackberries, plums,
prunes, peaches and finished on ap
ples. Hundreds of tons of fruit was
canned and thousands and thoussnjj
of dollars distributed in the commun
ity not enly saving the surplus fruits
but employing over 200 people with
a two-weekly payroll of 19.000; this
for months.
We have but Just closed down and
even yet are employing a consider
able force, packing and shipping and
getting ready fur next year , Our
company has ordered machinery for
installation that will cost upwards of
1100,000, additional warehouse and
preparation rooms must be built;
comfort stations, rest and lunch rooms
must be built. These necessary im
provements will cost many more
thousands.
Right here I want to ask you, dear
reader, has Mr. W. H. Paulhamus
made his word good? Have I made
my every promise good? Is the can
nery worth while to this community?
If you think it is what are YOU
planting for it? How are you sup
porting it?
Do you realize this cannery will
have to operate on foreign fruit
fruit brought from upper and lower
valley and from both east and west
hills, while we are waiting for you
to make your promises .good and
PLANT strawberries, loganberries ,
Manger blackberries, gooseberries,
Dawson plums, Montmorency cher
ries, red and black currants, quinces
and other fruits in sufficient quanti
ties? '
Do you realize that Puyallup Val
ley land is selling for $1200 per acre
because of its fruit canneries, sister
canneries to Albany Cannery, owned
and operated by the same company
and management? It's time for 'you
people to act PLANT NOW this
very spring. We have enough tips
and roots contracted for a large area.
Engage" what you need today. Call
91 or stop me anywhere. Tell us
what you can DO, not what you
WANT to do, but DO IT and DO IT j
NOW. We supply at net cost to us.j
Read what Mrs. Lucy O'Dell Thomp
son of Puyallup has done with 1 and
4 acres: Owns one and quarter
acre home place, good house about
30x36 feet on ground, good sized
chicken house with 300 birds, wood ,
shed and coal house, root house and .
flower garden. This place owned and j
worked by Mrs. Thompson, who is aj
cripple, and Mr. Thompson in very;
poor health. Here is their actual re-j
cord from settlement sheets and rash
book for 1U1U crop: 1
Sold neighbors from cherry
trees, apple trees, currant
and gooseberries $ 46.78
Sold cannery 4855 pounds
evergreen berries 61(1.93
Sold cannery 4800 lbs rasp
berries ' 814.43
Total gross sales f 1478.14
Paid for labor 230.00
Total net earnings $ 1248.14
, Canes on this place were set 21
years ago by the present owner. This
shows what proper care and cultiva
tion will do. Another case:
Mr. Durkee sold 1225 worth of rasp
berries from two city lots, his home
paying a rental of $180 per year for
the place, he being employed on the
railroad. The family did the work.
Then again: Mr. Foster cropiwd
from fraction over an acre 366 crates
strawberries selling at an average
price of 13.05 per crate. Cross sales
were $1085.80. Here is another:
Mr.' Churchward sold from 2i
acres evergreen berries 30,(00 pounds
to cannery and shipped 820 crates vf
16 pounds each or 6120 pounds. Total
weight, 8M20 pounds at 9 rents
$3204.80.
The high coat of living Is not both
ering Mr. Churchward. He has three
I story farming. This I aver: Home
tract has a large orchard, apples,
' cherries, pears, etc., above the ber
ries, and chickens on the ground.
Paul Sulkosky sold rsnnery 16,000
' pounds of strawberries, Marshall va
! riety,' from 1 acres, at 14 cent.
Total $2240.
j These are just a few growers among
many hundreds In the Puyallup Val
ley, the truth of which can easily be
proven if doubted.
My friends, these berry growers
do not fear the high cost of living
even on their small acres. You should
be equally proieruus per acre right
here. WHY NOT? Come to cannery
or call 91 let's talk it over.
