"What is Home With Mother after
A Hard Days Washing" is what the
modern laundry wants to know. II
there is a single industry in the
valley which is benefit to the
mothers of Payette and community
it is the Payette Steam Laundry. In
various ways some complete and
others partly so this firm endeavors
to eliminate the hard work of wash
ing from the mothers. Here mother
has her choice of service to suit her
fancy and purse. If she desires
complete service SO that all she must
do is to lay away the weeks clothing
when returned she may have 1t, if
she wishes to do a small part of the
work herself there is a service to fit
that desire, and perhaps she de-

DENNEY & co.
This company while not a local
but a national known concern is
one of the important industries with
their fruit evaporators and their
Cold Storage plant. The evapor-
ators situated at Payette and New
Plymouth are probably the largest
in the entire Northwest and each
year care for hundred of tons of
apples which otherwise would bring
the grower little if any return. They
also furnish employment for many
women, girls and men men. The
apple evaporation at Payette is the
only one in the state of Idaho and
and the products of this plant are
distributed over the entire United |
States. At this city they also op-
crate prune plant which turns out
high quality of Idahos famous
prunes. The lowly prune thought |
the subject of many jokes after it |
has made trip through this COM
panys plant becomes a staple food |
which is fit for king, if kings still |
exist.
IDAHO ALFALFA MILLING co.
This is another local Company
owned and managed entirely by local
people. w. G. Pence is the Presi-
dent and Manager ably assisted by
Harry Pence his brother. The OBJ
ject of the Company is to reduce the
wonderful Idaho Alfalfa hay to a
meal which is more economical and
e1ficcient as feed when ground.
Some great records have been re-
Gently made in the feeding of cattle
with the meal. The Company has
iced yards and at present is feeding
about 400 head of cattle, a young
steer which has been weighed every
flfteen days has shown a gain of so
pounds each time in that period and
mas not received any special treat
ment. Altogether the company has
iced over 1000 head of cattle in the
last two years. Many of these cattle l
nave shown gains as much as four
pounds per day. The mill has s
capacity of 20 tons of hay per day
and since the first of September has '
ground over 1000 tons of hay. The
Company can be said to be a wonder
Jul success in all ways it has not
only furnished cash market for the I
alfalfa hay of this section when
here was no other market but has S
proven the efficiency of the meal.
lust another illustration that local C
industry in Payette if properly man
ICED and coupled up with hard work II
will succeed.
