YREKA The City Meat Mar
ket on West Miner street in
Yreka has the distinction of
continuous operation since 1854,
selling nothing but meat. The
market has a certificate show
ing its membership in the One
Hundred Year Club.
The market is located in the
original building which was
owned and operated by Charles
Herzoe. Recently a doorway
was cut through the west wall
to accommodate customers
trading in the adjoining grocery
store. The wall was a single
one about 32 inches thick made
of stone cemented together
with adobe.
The wall to the cast is of the
same construction, and in the
attic there is two feet of dirt
placed there for fire protection
in the early days of Yreka
when the city was plagued by
fires.
The dirt prevented the front
part of the market from burning
in the spring of 1939 when fire,
which started in a candy store
next door, burned the back part
which extended from Miner to
Cenlpr street.
The part of the building
opening on Center street in
early days was used as the
stable for the delivery horses.
The center part was used for
curing hams and making sau
sage. About 1019 an ice making
machine was added, and was
one of the first in this part of
the country.
The 19IS9 fire destroyed all
this part of the building and the
present building extends only
to the alley.
Another distinctive feature of
the market is the paintings
which extend around the walls.
The paintings are about 60 or
70 years old and were painted
by A. Cedro, a sign painter and
paper hanger who lived in
Yreka.
They were painted on a fine
quality canvas, and have not
faded in all these years. When
the walls are washed and
cleaned the pictures are washed
and come out fresh and clear
as when first painted.
Not too much is known of the i
painter, except that he would !
exchange his paintings for
drinks. He w:ld paint with his i
easel set up in the street. j
The Elks bar in Yreka also
features some of his paintings.
The pictures in the meat market
feature pastoral scenes with
sheep and cattle and game such
such as fish and ducks. Many
people have tried to purchase
the paintings, but they are not
for sale. The present owners say
tourists often stop in to see the
paintings and remark that they
have heard about them.
The original meat hooks,
which were hand forged, are
still in use, as is a marble top
table with carved legs. The
marble is about two inches
thick and slants toward the
center where a small hole al
lowed juices to drain into a con
tainer below. The table now
holds a meat sliccr.
Hanging from the ceiling is
some fancy wrought iron equip
ment which holds hooks for
meat saws and string. This is
also early day equipment.
Bernard Pollard of Cooley and
Pollard Hardware Store in Yre
ka was once the delivery boy
for the meat market, and rode
in a little two wheel cart re
sembling a chariot. The meat
packages were placed in a bas
ket in front, and he stood in the
rear of the cart and drove the
horse.
The present owner, Leon H.
Bryan, when he was 12 years
old, drove a herd of hogs from
Scott Valley to Yreka to the
market on font since there was
no transportation for them. He
didn't dream then he would one
day own the market.
The succession of owners
down through the years have
been Charles Herzoe and b. (J.
Spannus, John Fall and Chris
Ehert; John Fall; Miller and
Hughes; Henry Wadsworth;
Simmert; and Wuster and Mets
zer. Stock was sold, and the
Siskiyou Meat Company was
formed.
The present owner bought the
market from the company in
1921 and has operated it since
His son, James, is now in busi'
ness with him.
