The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-03-26


A Glacier representative was shown
through the extensive wagon and imple-
ment warehouse of the Davidson Fruit
company. The big red barn that stood
on tAe corner Of Third and River
streets has been moved up next TO the
cannery. The first floor Of the building
is now used as warehouse for farm i'm
plements, wagons, buggies, etc, while
the second story is storage room for
products from the box factory. Owing
to scarcity of lumber the box factory
is temporarily shut down. The ware
house for storing berry crates and apple
boxes is on the same level with the box
factory, and the two are connected bya
elevated passage, which makes the
transfer of boxes and crates very c0nve-
nient. The Davidson Fruit company
received a carload Of wagons and other
vehicles last week, which makes splen-
did display in their large warehouse.
