ADD NEW UNIT TO
PACKING PLANT
Continuing the policy of conserva
tive growth, noted here over a period
of many years, the Rosenberg Broth
ers, having reached the limit of the
capacity of their old packing house
at the Bear Creek. orchards, have start.
ed construction of a new unit to their
present plant, It was announced yes
terday.
The original packing house at the
orchrrd was located In the Interior
30 years ago. Thirteen years ago It
was divided Into three sections, with
two sections removed and placed on
tne southern Pacific tracks. Each
year additional crops have been taken
in by Rosenbergs for packing In this
oia snea, which necessitated the addi
tion of sheds and leantos, to a point,
where It, was impossible to construct
more additions.
The new unit will be 118 feet by
98 feet and will be added to the west
side of the present plant. The Rosen
bergs hope to make It one of the moit
efficient packing plants In the west.
Straight line production will be em
ployed, giving a total bin-length for
each machine of about 00 feet. The
plant will have a total capacity of
about 800 boxes an hour or about 15
cars in a nine hour period. New pack
ing Improvements, conceived by Mr.
Lowry and the Rosenbergs, will be In- j
traduced.
A new cold storage unit Is also be
ing constructed under ground at the
plant, which will hold about 30 ad
ditional cars, thus giving a total of
118 cars cold storage capacity.
Discussing the new Improvement
yesterday, David Rosenberg said, "our
growth has been slow, but, we believe,
substantial. Our present plant, we
hope, will represent the most modern
pear packing plant In the west. Al
ways having greatly stressed and em
phasized care In handling pears, we
feel that our new plant la designed
in every detail to handle those perish
able fruits as nearly perfect as the
very latest developments permit,
"I might say that this could be call
ed an expansion program In celebra
tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the
planting of Bear Creek orchards, Just
25 years younger than Oregon, whose
birthday will be celebrated at the Dia
mond Jubilee this summer."
