Salem Sand and Gravel Co.

Among the institutions which have
had an active part in the commercial
development of the city Of Salem

most important and yet unpretentious
is the Salem Sand & Gravel Company.

steadily and rapidly until il now has
an annual payroll of $4,000. From
IA small concern handling a few loads
of gravel from an island in the
river, 1t has developed into one Of
the very best equipped plants of its
kind in the state, IL has furnished

Improvement Of the city's streets, its
wagons daily go forth in every direc-
tion laden with its products, while
carload after carload is shipped out
into every town in the Willamette
valley from Corvallis on the south to
Portland on the north, This growth
has been attained only by tireless work
on the part Of the men composing the
company and after they have tried
many plans and have suffered many
disappointmcnts, but in bringing it
about they have not only established
an immense business but they have
added much to the financial gain Of
the capital city.

many years he had the largest and
best equipped bicycle shop in the state,
His sales rooms for bicycles expanded
into sporting goods business and today
it is recognized that no store between
Portland and San Francisco carries as
large or high grade stock of bicycles,
motorcycles, ammunition and sporting
goods as Watt Shipp.
Last spring, finding that the pawder
business required more of his time, Mr..
Shipp incorporated his sporting goods
store to he known as the Watt Shipp
Company. This business is handled by
Messr II. IL, Veatch, w. II. Anderson
and A. r, Wilson, all Officers and stock
holders Of the company, Although
heavily interested in the Watt Shipp
Company, through this arrangement,
Mr. Shipp is enabled to devote the
greater portion OF his time 70 the pow.
dor business, known as the Watt Shipp
Powder Co., Of which he is sole owner.
The policy that has made Mr., Shipp
successful in his many ither lines Of
business; namely, personally trying out
and testing in order TO know just what
he is selling his customers, has been
followed in the powder business since

Kids in the neighborhood, but the church

conclusion is conclusive, for were not

that together and the case is made.
