Foresight
Founded Firm
Late Tom Corstens
Proised for Efforts

The Carstens Packing Co.,
which employees 400 persons
in its Tacoma plant and more
than 1000 in its Northwest
operations, owes its existence
to a young man with a lot OF
foresight, with business sense
TO match.
And, that man was the late
Thomas c. Carstens, who opened a
retail meat market in Seattle in
1890. The venture was so sue
cessful he added wholesale de-
partment six months later. In
1897. he and his brother, Ernest,
entered the meat packing business
in Seattle.
The industry grew until today
its meat packing plants on the
Pacific coast have an international
reputation for high quality
products.
In 1924, when Tom Carstens
was active head of the organiza-
ton, he was praised in an article
for his foresight and sound business
sense. The article said, in part:
e. He was a wonderful or
ganization and system that will
run of its own momentum =.
Yes, he would be missed from the
community but he has planned
for every emergency, every future
problem has been solved"
