DAGGATT & HAVENER
FINISH SHIPPING
Among the interested Washington
people here last Saturday to partici­
pate in tiie opening of the bridge
were H. W. Daggatt and W. J. Ha­
vener, Lyle, Wash., apple growers and
shippers.
These men last summer
formed the firm of Daggatt A Haven­
er.
They have made a word in
their handling of apples for the Lyle
growers this season. They erected a
50 by 125 warehouse last fall. They
assembled the fruit and sold for cash.
The crop showed a shortage of 25
per cent over 192.3. There were 71
cars loaded through their house, only
two of which were consigned. Grow­
ers were well pleased with the man­
ner in which the operators disposed
of their crops and mad«* prompt settle-,
ment. The growers’ fruit has bwu
all cleaned up and they have their
money for the new year.
The Lyle growers were well rcpre-
vented at the opening of tlie bridge
and will enjoy many benefits which
Hood River offers to the Washington
districts. The completion of the high­
way has made the Lyle district a
neighbor of Hood River, ns It I h [ m *
