$18,000 WAREHOUSE ADDITION AT UNDERWOOD
The cold storage plant of the Underwood Fruit & Warehouse Co., at Underwood is
being enlarged to double its present capacity, which will make room for the
storing of 100,000 boxes of fruit. The improvement will mean an expenditure of
$18,000 and will give them one of the most modern as well as the largest
warehouse yet built. It will be completed by September 15, says the White
Salmon Enterprise.
The frame building adjoining the cold storage plant, is
being torn down and will be replaced by a tile building of two stories,
insulated throughout, and equipped with the latest devices for cold storage.
The completed warehouse will be 120x40 feet, two stories high.
A new 20-ton compressor is now being installed, in
addition to the present 12 and 8 ton capacity.
The Underwood Fruit & Warehouse Co. has a contract for
icing cars of the S.P. & S. Co., and besides providing modern storage
facilities, supplies the White Salmon valley with the ice during the summer
months.
