Chamber Group
Tour Bear Creek
Orchards Plant
Some 72 members of the
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce toured Harry and
David's Bear Creek Orchards
yesterday, viewing the vast
inner workings of the valley's
largest pear-packing plant.
Currently in the midst of
the Christmas gift-package
rush, the plant is employing
between 1,250 and 1,300
workers to handle as many as
6,500 daily orders.
The visit began with a
lunch in the company's cafe
teria. Afterward, the guests
were escorted in six groups
through the myriad phases of
operation. Company execu
tives led the tours.
Fashion Bows
The visitors saw deft fin
gers fashioning bows for gift
baskets in - one room, and
equally quick hands sorting
fruit in another. They heard
piped-in music in the execu
tive offices, and the click and
hum of IBM machines proces
sing orders in other rooms
nearby.
They sniffed the aroma of
pine boughs being clipped into
small sprays to decorate the
baskets, and the enticing
scent of baking fruit cakes.
Appetites well satisfied by
the lunch were i inevitably
aroused once more as the
tours progressed. But just be
fore departure each guest
was offered a white box con
taining a chunk of fruit cake
and a jar of fruit preserves.
