TEN MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. August IS. 1944
OPEN HOUSE SET
FOR INSPECTION
OF FiMPLANT
American Fruit Growers Inc.
I department, Is the new tales
manager of this department.
Hudkini Newcomer
Ronnie Hudkins, formerly as
sistant manager of a large trac
tor company In San Francisco,
is another newcomer to Medford.
He heads the American's com
plete supply department and has
I a wealth of experience in parts,
hardware and general supplies.
Arlcy Williams, well known
in the valley, is also new with
the American Fruit Growers,
heading the company s repairs
Thrnws fltipn Doors Sat., and service department. Wil-
. . liams and his staff of median
Sun. tO Invited UUeStS ics keep the growers' equip
ment in good working order.
The present general main of
fice of the American Fruit Grow
ers located on North Central will
be maintained and its staff also
enlarged. All carlot sales as in
the past, will continue to be
handled at this main office.
"These new additions together
with our beautiful new build
ing," said Mr. Green, "will, we
hope, enable the Medford divi
sion of the American Fruit
Growers to better serve our
many growers and other friends
in this and adjoining communi
ties."
American Fruit Growers, Inc.,
new South Fir street packing
nlant. is being completed this
week and Gordon R. Green, di
vision manager, has designated
next Saturday and Sunday as
oncn house for all of the com
nany's growers, members and
other invited guests.
Actual construction of the
beautiful new building, although
only started In late March, will
have been completed in six
months. "With materials of all
kinds critically scarce and
priorities difficult to obtain,
this entire performance,"
Mr. Green said today, "is a rec
ord of some sort. The success,
however, in bringing the build
ing to completion in such fast
time is duo solely to the fine co
operation given American Fruit
Growers by everyone involved
In the construction. We owe a
sincere debt of gratitude to all
those supplying our materials
and to each and every worker
for the fine spirit of coopera
tion." Covers One Acre
The new building covers ap
proximately one acre of ground
'and is considered one of the
largest structures of its kind in
floor area in this part of the
country. The two stories arc
steam heated and air condi
tioned. The plant is completely
equipped with the very latest in
packing equipment new wash
ers, slzers, lidding machines and
power conveyors. There are four
complete washing, grading and
packing units. The building's
spacious receiving porch where
growers unload pears Is In it
self approximately the size of
the American's former structure.
This large receiving porch and
the added new packing equip
ment will, according to the man
agement, ellmlnto cntirel yany
waiting or congestion during
harvest.
The building boasts an attrac
tive lunch room for convenience
of the employees where hot cof
fee and wafers will be served to
them free twlco dally, also a ful
ly equipped hospital loom with
a registered nurse in attendance
each working day.
Comfort Considered
Another Innovation Is steam
heat under the sorting tables to
keep the women sorting crews
warm and comfortable during
cold days. "When planning this
new building," said Mr. ureen,
"we tried to consider our em
ployes and aimed to make work
ing conditions as comfortable
and pleasant as possible."
To properly operate the plant,
the mnnagement has already
signed up and is assured a full
packing house crew, including
packers, sorters and floor help,
mostly local pcoplo.
In line with construction of
the new building nnd Increased
facilities to bettor and more ef
ficiently serve the many growers
in this district, the American
Fruit Growers has greatly en
larged the executive staff of the
Medford division.

division in the capacity of as
sistant citrous sales manager
and assistant traffic manager,
has Joined the Medford staff as
assistant division manager and

ment and assist Mr. Green In
