SALEM FENCE WORKS.

Charles d. Mulligan has been iden-
titled with this industry for a num-
ber of years although he bought out
Mr.. Morley only about four years
ago and took active management of
the institution. During the inter
vening time he has greatly increased
the volume of business done, his
strictly modern methods proving
highly satisfactory to all having rela-
tions with him. Then there is an
other reason for the liberal patron
age which is extended to the Salem
Fence Works and that is that people
generally have learned that they
may secure a better quality Of any
kind of fence of Mr. Mulligan for
less money than anywhere else. He
manufactures fencing for every pur-
pose and speciality is also made of
a light wire gate which finds ready
sale all over Western Oregon, being
far better than any other similar
gate offered on the market. His
fence is for field, lawn, poultry, etc.,
is of all heights and always of the
best quality. He carries a large and
stock of fence posts,
iron and wood gates, P, & B. ready
roofing and shingles, hop baskets,
slat fencing staples. nails and other
materials required in connection with
the erection of fencing, Mr.. Multi
gan is prepared to make shipments
promptly to outside points and salts
faction is invariably guaranteed.
The Salem Fence Works are central
ly located at $50 Court street where
Genial Charles Mulligan is always
glad to see his many friends and
acquaintances and customers. He is
one Of the public spirited business
men of Salem and always ready and
willing to lend his assistance in the
further upbuilding and progress Of
both the city and surrounding terri
tory.

superiority over other houses Of
similar nature seem to call for more
than passing mention. One of these
is the harnes store of Mr.. F. E.
Shafer, which is located at 1877 Com
mercial street. Mr.. Shafer has been
engaged in the manufacture and sale
of harness in the city since 1891 and
he has during the entire time inter
vening maintained the highest Teputa-
tion for making only the highest
grade of harness, in which the very
best of oak tanned leather is used
and upon which the workmanship is
of the finest quality. From a small
beginning Mr.. Shafer's business has
grown until force of seevral expert
assistants are required and he has in
stalled one of the latest model wax
thread sewing machines, which was
made necessary by the rapid increase
in the demand for his excellent har-
moss. All his harness are sewed with
hard wax, his entire equipment being
run by electric power, the only one in
the valley outside of Portland. All
goods are sold under a positive
guarantee. His trade is extending
each year and is now drawn from
large territory tributary to Salem,
Mr.. Shafer is a man in the prime of
life and he probably has many years
of usefulness ahead of him all of
which we are pleased to hope he will
spend in Salem for he is everywhere
known as one of our best boosters,
never losing an opportunity to sing
the praises of Salem and Oregon.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY PRUNE
ASSOCIATION.

In a recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post in an article dealing
with the question of marketing var
ious products and discussing those
men most responsible for present
conditions, H. S. Gile was recognized
as practically the Father of the
prune industry of Oregon" in that it
was through his efforts that prunes
from this part of the country we're
given a place beside those of Cali
fornia and that they are now very
generally recognized as the highest
standard in the prune markets of the
world. Certainly this is distinction
worth having and the best part of it
is that it was entirely unsolicited and
unknown to Mr.. Gile until called to
his attention. Locally it has Eeen
realized that Mr.. Gile has eXerted d
highly beneficial influence upon The
prnna industry in many ways but
this kind of national publicity is not
only pleasing but also beneficial to
Mr.. Gile personally and to Western
Oregon as a whole. AS manager of
the Willamette Valley Prune Asso-
citation Mr.. Gile has looked after the
marketing of large proportion of
the pTunes raised in this pat Of the
country and because of his intimate
knowledge of the business has been
able to secure the highest returns
to prune growers In Eastern and
foreign markets Mr.. Giles name is
widely known and his judgment
readily accepted so that he enjoys a
strong advantage over most others in
this industry. The operations of the
Willamette Valley Prune Association
have been of inestimable value in all
respects, from three to four millions
of pounds of prunes being dried,
packed and disposed of annually, for
which large sums are distributed
among growers of the valley.
Furthermore, employment is fur
nished to large force of people dur
ing the busy season, the volume of
money flowing through local trade
channels being thereby materially in
creased and merchants and dealers
generally benefited. The plant at
High and Trade streets is modern in
every respect and consumers every
where recognize no brand of prunes
as superior to the famous pheasant"
brand Of the highly successful Will
lamette Valley Prune Association. In
addition to being secretary and man
ager of this large undertaking Mr..
Gile has other extensive interests, is
prominent in civic affairs in Salem
and one of the really representative
business men of this part of the state.

customers Mr.. Buchner is forced to
purchase feed in large quantities,
which he sells at his feed store, which
is operated in connection with the
mill at SS7 South Commercial street.
Mr.. Buchner is one of the older resi-
dents of Salem and has been engaged
in his present undertaking for many
years with far more than ordinary
degree of success. Throughout his
active career he has always shown a
direct interest in the welfare of the
Capital City and invariably lends his
assistance to boost projects of legiti-
mate nature, realizing that there is
still opportunity for material growth
and the further development of con-
tinguous territory. He has always
enjoyed the high regard of all who
know him, his honorable business
methods having fully established his
absolute integrity. Farmers or others
having feed to be ground will get the
best service at Buchner's Feed Mill
and those in need of feed will be able
to buy it there at lowest prices and
with satisfaction guaranteed in all
instances. This enterprise has al
ready been of material benefit to
Salem and surrounding territory by
it possible to keep money for
feed here at home and will still more
benefit as the country is further de-
The plant is equipped with
the latest and best machinery so that
feed may be ground exactly as de-
sired

TILSON & CO., INC.

The Prune Packing industry at
Salem is represented among others
by Tillison & Co., Inc, who have
packing houses at both Salem and
Roseburg. They have packed at
these two places-mainly at Salem,
approximately six million pounds
each year for several seasons past.
About one half of their fruit they
have sold in Europe, the remainder
in Canada and the United States.
They do a strictly commercial bust
ness. Buy their fruit outright, and
pay spot cash for it when delivered.
The fruit growers after many years
of experimenting have found it more
profitable and much more satisfac-
tory to sell their fruit and get their
money on delivery than the uncer-
tainties, long delays and usually un-
satisfactory results of association
methods. The prune industry is a
growing one, is more stable and less
speculative, and generally more
profitable than any other branch of
fruit growing. It's future is certain.

!. S. TOWNSEND CREAMERY co.


The first creamery to be estab-
fiished in the city of Salem II is not
strange that the Townsend Creamery
at 1877 South Commercial street is
more widely known and the most
successful establishment of its kind
here. 1t is also by far the largest,
having churn capacity of 1000
pounds while the equipment permits
of three churnings per day. The
home office of the company is in
Portland and branches are operated
at various points, each of which is
equally successful as the one in
Salem. Here is manufactured the
justly popular White Glover" brand
of creamery butter, the leading
grocers of all Western Oregon cities
recognizing it as distinctlyely their
leader while consumers demand it on
all occasions. The Townsend Cream
cry is a further convenience mas
much as cream may be purchased at
any time and in any desired quantity
while its operation means much to
the dairying interests and has done
great deal in inducing more of our
dSA SAlNuibul dlloNo " 0h5dbC III tiiaN pun
suit. The highest cash price is paid
for cream and shipments from a wide
territory are received daily. Further
more the establishment furnishes
steady employment for a number of
skilled workmen, the pay roll averag-
ing $500 per month. The greatest
degree of success has been achieved
under the very able and progressive
management of Adelbert A. Under
hill, a gentleman of wide experience
in this line of business and who is
regarded as one of our most astute
business men and enterprising citi-
zens. No plant of the kind any
where is better equipped or is kept
in more perfect sanitary condition,
this feature being considered of the
utmost importance at all times. All
machinery and appliances are thor
oughly sterilized and at no time Is
the cream or butter allowed to be-
come contaminated through contact
with objects which might be unclean.
AS an employer of a considerable
number of people and in distributing
large sums of money to farmers in
this part of the state the Townsend
Creamery is one of the more i'm
portant industries of the Capital City
and is destined to exert still strong
er influence upon the general pro-
gress and prosperity of this city and
surrounding territory.

that anyone in Salem or this part Of
the country who desires the very best

patronizes Elliott's printing estab-
lishment The knowledge Mr.. Elliott
has acquired is the result Of years OF
actual experience and constant study.
He never had an idea that he knew
it alP' but was willing to profit by
the other fellows experiences in
order to be better able to furnish his
numerous customers Just exactly
what thew might require. He does
1t, too; and in consequence Is kept
constantly busy with a modernly
equipped plant and large number OF
skilled employees. While everything
in the printing line is given close and
prompt attention a distinct speciality
is made of high-class office and busi-
ness stationery. That is where N. D.
Elliott particularly shines. He can
design and print letter head which
literally speaks for itself" At any
rate it shows mighty good judgment
and discriminating taste. That is
the kind you want, also, isn't it?
See Elliott then. See him for any
thing and everything in printing. He
is better equipped, turns out better
work and more promptly than others
and always at right prices. Notwith-
standing that he is kept more than
ordinarily busy in looking after his
enterprise Mr.. Elliott also takes great
interest in the welfare of Salem, is a
member of the city council and chair
man of the committee having charge
of the sewer problem. Mr.. Elliott is

E. S. LAMPoRT sADDLERY co.

If there is any one thing for which
Salem is especially noted it is the
enterprise, energy and progressive
ness which characterizes her leading
business men. Among those who
profess belief in the future greatness
of the city and who has for forty
two years been closely identified
with her best interests should be
mentioned Mr.. E. S. Lamport of the
E. S. Lamport Saddlery Co., which is
located in well equipped quarters at
219 North Commercial street and
where an immense stock of high
horse furnishings is carried at all
times. Mr.. Lamport has been estab-
lished and actively engaged in this
line of business longer than any
other man on the Pacific Coast. In
addition they carry a fine line Of
leather suit cases, grips and hand
bags and shoe findings of the best
quality and their prices are extreme
ly low in every department. The
manufacturing department is a
special feature of the business, and
all of their harness Is of the highest
quality, only the best of material be-
ing used while special care and at
tention is given to the workmanship.
Mr.. Lamport Is assisted in the handl-
ing of the business by his two sons,
Frederick and Merrill, both of whom
have under the guidance of their
father become thoroughly familiar
with every detail connected with
their trade and are prepared to rem
der valuable assistance in the con-
duct of the business. The Messrs.
Lamport conduct their business along
honorable and up right lines on all
occasions and their goods are sold
and guaranteed as to quality, style,
finish and price. Mr.. Lamport, Sr.,
has the distinction of not only being
the pioneer harness man of the Pa
cific coast, but also the pioneer
business man of the city of Salem
and has seen the city grow to her
present proportions.

This activity in building circles has
kept all those engaged in the build
ing trades exceptionally busy and
among the firms enjoying fine bust
ness is Bardertscher & Fuller, whose
we'll equipped establishment is at
1SS South Liberty street, Telephone
900. These gentlemen purchased
the tinsmithing business formerly
conducted by Steiner & Berger and
since taking possession have enjoyed
even a more liberal patronage. They
are prepared to undertake the manu-
facture of everything required in
building operations, including gut
tering, cornice work, roofing, etc.,
while they also manufacture tanks
for all purposes-in fact anything
which may be made from tin or
sheet metal. A sufficient number of
skilled workmen are employed to
promptly care for all work intrusted
to the firm and they have gained an
enviable reputation for using the
best of material and turning out the
highest quality of finished product
Contracts are taken anywhere in
Western Oregon, the firms equip
ment warranting them in handling
work of any magnitude. Their prices
are invariably low as it is possible
to quote on first-class work and it
will pay builders to get their figures
before letting contracts.
