Cannery to Reopen This Season for Blackberries Only
Cannery will reopen this season to process evergreen blackberries only due to insufficient quantities of other fruits and vegetables. A. Chase signed papers Tuesday to run the operation, paying four cents per pound delivered to the cannery. Crates provided by the cannery will help pickers earn good wages, with assistance from the Marshfield chamber of commerce to secure needed help. Government demand and home canning are encouraged as patriotic. Chase aims to operate day and night if possible and plans a possible expansion next season with additional buildings. The article also notes a vehicle accident involving John Snider and James Guerin, with no injuries, plus local calls and a land purchase by Britton of Winlock for future home.
