WALLA WALLA BRICK G. STONE
CO. Oncorporated)
107 West Main Street.

WI VSSh oe'SSN'
The establishment of the Walla
Walla Brick and Stone Company
marked an era in the building trade OF
Walla Walla. From time immemOrlal,
brick in the crudest form served their
purposes in buildings, but it is only
within the past few decades that any
great Improvement has been made in
their composition and manufacture.
II was more recently still that what
Is known as cement brick has been
made, and that artistic cement has
begun to take the place of brick IN
the construction of f1ueS and chin
ntyS. Much as the public calls for
ana seems to desire something new

no w. Sims belongs the honor Of
ng established the first modern
nv store in Walla Walla. The
are not far past when a sack of
mr.. a sack of green coffee, a key or
4sses. a barrel of flour and a few
.r staple necessities constituted the
ST.. TX of the average grocery.
The modern up-to-date grocery must
have everything fresh from the hands
.. the producers and the stock must
,, hide fresh fruits and vegetables.
Goods must, therefore, be received
daily. and great care must be eXer-
r;.ad so that no stale goods are served
IN PATRONS in buying quality, and par
amount desire to please customers
must be the first consideration. Then,
too the modern grocery must have
TpfrigeraIors and other needed cOnve-
ufences for the clearly care Of provi-
sions. SO that they can be delivered
fresh and clean to customers.
The advantage of buying from a
strictly modern grocery store need
only be mentioned to be appreciated.
Stale goods are not only a diSappOint-
mpnt, but are absolutely dangerous
from the possibility of their containing
ptomain poison.
In this connection it is worthy of
note that ]. w Sims is equipped with
large refrigeratOrs, and every other
modern convenience necessary for the
clean and careful handling of groceries
and provisions.
OF the stock carried by this house
it is sufficient to say it is strictly first
class, and as large as it can be, con-
sistent with the rule of having no
stale goods A speciality is made OF
family trade Fruits and green vege-
tables are received daily. Wagons are
run to deliver goods and no painstak-
ing is thought to be too great that re-
SUITS in giving satisfaction to patrons.
Mr.. Sims came to Walla Walla in
1889 and three years later engaged in
business for himself His success has
demonstrated, not only his business
ability, but as well, the public appre-
citation of his methods of doing bust
ness. He is an active, energetic and
methodical manager, quick to see the
needs of his business, and as ready to
supply them. He is salesman among
his statesmen, and always glad to make
the personal acquaintance of his pat
rons. Possessing ample capital, and
having a knowledge of what modern
grocery store must be, together with
the temperament of a leader, it is not
too much to predict that his grocery
store will always be found in the fore
most rank of the best modern business
houses of Walla Walla.

BLALOCK FRUIT COMPANY
Growers and Shippers of Choice Fruits
WaIla WaIIa, Wash.

The example and financial success
of the Blalock Fruit Company has
done more, perhaps. to promote the
initiative in fruit and vegetable grow.
ing in Eastern Washington than all
other enterprises of a similar kind
yet established. 1t is not that smaller
enterprises have not done proportion
ately WELL but that the mind of man
is so constructed that it is impressed
by the single larger example, rather
than by the many smaller ones.
Thn~o is 70 shortcut to successful
fruit and vegetable growing in Wash
ingtOn. While it is true that the soil
and climate here are propitious to a
remarkable degree, as compared with
other sections, the same painstaking
methods of common knowledge to
growers the country over, must be
applied to insure profitable crops.
The Blalock Fruit COmpany's Or
chard is widely known as the largest
orchard in Washington. The fame Of
its fruits and green vegetables extends
from the Pacific to the Atlantic in the
states, and reaches into Canada as
we'll.
The initial planting of this great or
chard began with the planting of six
hundred acres of mixed fruits, mostly
apples, pears, prunes and cherries, in
1880. Doctor Blalock, in speaking of
this first planting, says: so rapidly
did this young orchard mature, that
many of the trees came to bearing
the fourth year." The present man.
agement is authority for the fact that
these same trees, now twenty-six years
old, are increasing their average crop
from year to year, and that up to the
present time there is no data from
which the age bearing limit of the or
chard can, with any degree of certain
ty, be stated.
To the seven hundred acres of choice
land for a beginning, the company has
added eight hundred, making now
farm of 1900 acres, and in the mean
time, the management has engaged ex-
tensiveIy in intensive garden farming,
which returns product of three num-
dred cars of green vegetables yearly.
This, added to the annual fruit yield,
requires the shipment of between 500
and 600 cars annually.
These shipments are divided In &C
cordance with the demand between
Seattle. British Columbia, Alberta,
Winnipeg. the Dakotas, st. Paul, Min
neapolis. New York, and in the case OF
prunes, London, England, to which
place fourteen carloads OF fresh
prunes of the last seasons crop were
shipped, whether with profitable re-
teurns we are unable to state. But
certain if is that with our modern
refrigerator facilities for shipping.
distance has become less important
factor in profitable shipping than
freight rates.
The management employs from
thirty-eight to two hundred and seven
tv-fve men, according to the season.
It has its own shipping house in Walla
Walla. and possesses the best modern
facilities of every kind for handling
fruits and vegetables and filling orders
