purposes, for saving by-products and
handling meats in the most approved
manner.
Besides dealing in fresh meats ar
wholesale and retail, having four re-
tail markets in this city and one at
Pasco. the company does large bust
ness in packing, curing and smoking
meats. and in making sausage ana
lard. Its well known brand, pride Of
the Valley" hams, bacon and lard are
favorites with the best trade, and with
families, restaurants and hotels all
over eastern Washington and Oregon,
and into Idaho.
In fresh meats, as WELL the company
always has the best, for it is a rule,
to buy only the best animals obtain
able for slaughtering.
In this connection it may be truth
fully said that no other single enter
done so much for the stock and farm
ing interests of the Walla Walla val
lev as has the pioneer butchering and
market business. now known as the
WaIla Walla Cold Storage company.
It has furnished a ready market for
the best cattle, fat hogs and mutton
sheep from the valley and hill coun-
try tributary to Walla Walla for half
a century at good prices, and thereby
counteracted in large measure the de-
pressing influences of f1uctuating east
ern markets and the beef trust.
In it's large cold storage plant the
company has supplied Walla Walla
with a much needed modern conven-
fence. Interstate trade and interna-
! tional commerce now bring to our doors
all the luxuries of the commercial
world, many of them of so perishabe
a nature that but for the modern cold
storage plant they would be too costly
| for any but the wealthy to enjoy. But
| thanks to the cold storage plant the
laborer and his family can enjoy the
| fruits of the tropics and many other
luxuries equally with the family of the
rich. 1t might go without saying that

forts and luxuries to those who labor
! approaches nearest to an ideal civiliza-
most happily conditioned.

WALLA WALLA PRODUCE co.
Growers and Wholesale Shippers of
Fruit and Vegetables.
w. S. Offner, President. U. n. Berney
Secretary and Treasurer.
WaIIa WaIIa, Wash.

Among the many private and incor-
porated enterprises in Walla Walla
none are more closely identified with
the people or contribute in a larger de-
gree to prosperity and the success of
extensive lining and fruit growing
than this W. known house. Its bust
ness has been fostered in its growth
from a small beginning by the individ
ual experience of its founders.
w. S. Offner and U. H. Berney were
among the first to put their opinions
and hope of successful gardening and
fruit growing in the Walla Walla val
ley to the test by risking the loss of
money and labor in what was at best
a tentative enterprise. An equal or
greater risk, too pertained to the build
ing up the business of wholesale dealer
and shipper. Not only had markets to
be sought, but business acquaintance
and connections to be made and mutual
condolences established with desirable
parties. Then, too, a practical knowl-
edge of packing and shipping was to
be gained, and that also at the ex-
pense of experiment. 1t is perhaps for
tunate that the wholesale and shipping
business was at first small. But profile
iency came with the increase of bust
ness until now when the company ships
between 500 and 600 cars of green
vegetables and fruits each year the
perishable loss is at the minimum
compared with the loss sustained dur
ing the experimental stage of the bust
ness. This fact is no less interesting
to producers than to the wholesale
shipper, for the shipping price must al

ways be shaded by the average loss
in prospect to the shipper. 1t may
therefore be assumed that the pains
taking methods which have made for
the success of this old pioneer house
have Indirectly done much to promote
the profitable industry of vegetable and
fruit growing which has made the
Walla Walla valley so famous for it's
products.
There is another important fact the
gardener and fruit grower should con-
sider to-wit: that in selling to the

shipping house in Walla Walla located
near the track of the w. & C. r. rail-
| way, on it's own private track, the
! company has another house at Milton
and one at Yakima. From the latter,
about 100 cars are shipped annually.

Incorporated enterprise with an ample

w. GEORGE sTARRETT, sEEDMAN
Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Vege
table, Flower, Tree and Grass
Seeds.
WalIa WaIIa, Wash.

To Walla Walla belongs the honor
of having established a greater num-
Der of pioneer business houses in the
various lines of trade than can be justly
claimed by any other city or town in
the state. The subject Of this sketch
is one among Them and besides being
the pioneer seed house Of Washington
is still one of the leading seed houses
of the state east OF the mountains.
The business was established by Mr..
George Starrett, one of Walla Walla's
most respected and esteemed pioneer
merchants, in 1873. Something of the
Importance of the business in the be-
ginning may be judged by the fact that
Mr.. Starrett published a seed cata-
logue in January, 1874, less than a
year from the time of his beginning
business.
Mr.. Starrett, Sr., retired from the
business in 1897 and was succeeded by
his son, w. George Starrett, who con-
ducts the business with the same care
full regard for the quality of seeds and
for the needs and wishes of patrons for
which his father was a conspicuous
example Only such changes in the
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-07-20

methods of management have been
made as are needed to meet the de-
mands of the trade, and for the better
accommodation of farmers and gar
deners.
The catalogue for the present year,
entitled "Starrett's Seed Catalogue"
contains 4S pages. OF these, three
pages are taken for Illustrations and
printed matter relating to recently pat
ented and improved garden implements.
The other 45 pages are devoted to
seeds of every kind used by farmers,
gardeners and fruit growers Of this
section.
1t is worthy Of consideration in this
connection that this house has from
| the beginning made a speciality of home
grown seeds and. too, that all seeds
are tested and proven to have a ger
minating quality Of at least 80 per
| cent before being offered for sale Seeds
falling short of 80 per cent germinat-
ing quality are rejected.
The principal stock of seeds is an
nually replenished by seeds grown I'M
der contract for this house by gar
| deners and farmers of Washington and
] Oregon, as much as possible. A few
of the newer varieties are brought from
! the east and south, or imported from
Europe. The practice of giving new
names to well-known vegetables, plants
and flowers has never been INDUCED in.
Neither is it the habit to list new va
| rieties until they are proven; but
| special orders for seeds of untried va
rieties are accepted and supplied, but
without guarantee as to results.
To meet the requirements Of the
trade and for the convenience of the
public large and we'll assorted boxes Of
garden and flower seeds are placed with
prominent merchants in all towns and
trade centers throughout the country
tributary to Walla Walla.
During the months of September and
| October of each year Mr.. Starrett Wis
| its each agency and learns of the kinds
and quantity Of seeds needed for the
coming year. Besides supplying mer-
, chants with commission goods, seeds
are sold in wholesale quantities to the
trade. The stock also includes spray
| ing pumps, garden drills, cultivators,
etc, for garden use.
Orders are also taken for fruit trees
and nursery stock of all kinds. The
orders will be placed with reliable
nursery men, who will ship direct from
| the nursery so that in case of any mis-
take or the non compliance of the law
| the blame can be properly placed.
The honorable business standing Of
this old pioneer house is a fitting
! monument to its founder, who gave
the better part of lifetime to develop
ing it. It is appropriate, too, that his
son has succeeded to the business, and
| the public may b. assured that the
| rainstaking methods and stringent
| tests necessary to insure the best of
seeds will continue to be the rule CT
| this famous old seed house.

Butchers and Packers.

This establishment might justly
claim a prominent place in the history
of Walla Walla. The initial meat mar
ket, from which the Walla Walla Meat
& Cold Storage company has grown
was established more than half a CEN
fury ago to supply the United States
army fort and the few civilians then
here. 1t is an interesting fact that the
lot occupied by the companys office
for more than 40 years held a market
belonging to this time -honored enter
porated about 20 years ago. 1t was re-
incorporated in 1904 with the follow
dent; ]. ]. Kaufman, vice president
and assistant manager; j. G.. Slime,
secretary, and o. D. Gibson, manager
and treasurer. They are all we'll known
and are connected with other business
enterprises of Walla Walla.
The business has grown with the
growth of the city, and improvements
have been made from time to time, and
this the oldest establishment of the
kind in the state, may still claim hon
orable rank among the best. The
company's slaughter house is of ample
size and is equipped with all the mod

MODEL BAKERY AND CONFEC-
TIONERY.
Chas. Retzer, Manager.
WaIIa WaIIa, Wash.

Walla Walla has the distinction OF
having in the Model bakery one of the.
most perfectly equipped bakeries IN
eastern Washington. Time was, ana
that not very long ago, that house
wives did all the baking for the lam
lily. Happily that time is past, and the
too burdened woman can now DEPEND
upon the baker for bread and the other
products of the bakery as she depends
upon the steam laundry to do the
laundry work. That this makes lor
economy fuel and time considered
there can be little doubt, and 1t Ger
tainly is a boon to families, as well as
to hotels and restaurants.
The Model bakery and confectionery
has been a leader in it's line for nearly
10 years Its equipment is up TO date'
and it's product of 5000 loaves OF predo
per day. together with cakes and pies
in endless variety, is evidence Oh INC
popularity of it's products.
The Model employs 20 people IN an
it's departments, and runs four DEW
cry wagons. Besides its large family
restaurant and hotel trade in the CITY,
the Model ships to a number OF ou'-
side towns in the valley.
The confectionery and ice cream ue
partments are hardly less lmportaH'
features of the business than th0
bakery proper, and together make th'
Model one of the most popular resort7
for young people of all ages 10 10
found in the city. A specially is n1au0
of having the best. That this applle7
