MR. W. H. PAULHAMUS, Puyallup, 

 Washington, Chairman of the Execu- 

 tive Committee of Three of the Fruit 

 Growers' Council of 107. 

 Mr. W. H. Paulhamus was born on 

 the 4lh day of March, 1805, and is ,")0 

 years of age. His early days were 

 spent at Altoona and Shaion, Pennsyl- 

 vania, and Youngstown, Ohio, at which 

 places he attended the public schools. 

 At 18 years of age he left Youngstown, 

 Ohio, for Aberdeen, South Dakota, 

 where he entered the banking business, 

 and later at Sumner, Washington. He 

 followed the banking business up to 

 December, 1894. 



Mr. Paulhamus has engaged in farm- 

 ing outside of Puyallup, Washington, 

 and has been manager of the Puyallup 

 and Sumner Fruit Growers' Association 

 since 1902. Commencing with a capital 

 stock of .'?2500, Mr. Paulhamus has cre- 

 ated a capital and surplus of -$102,- 

 503.00. Appreciation of his value to 

 this association is shown in a very 

 forcible way by the fact that the asso- 

 ciation has his life insured for $25,000 

 in case of death and $75,000 in case of 

 accident. The importance of this asso- 

 ciation to the State of Washington is 

 shown in many ways. Its value as an 

 industry is shown (|uite clearly b>' 

 coniijaring its payroll with the cai' 

 shops of the Northern Pacific at Ta- 

 coma. The Northern Pacific car-shop 

 payi-oll in the largest month of 1914 is 

 rejiorted, we are informed, as $68,000; 

 the iiayi-oll of the Puyallup and Sum- 

 ner Fruit Growers' Association Can- 

 nery for the largest month in 1914 was 

 $238,000. 



Mr. Paulhamus has built up an im- 

 mense industry fi-om a very small one. 

 The volume of the industry is indicated 

 by the numbei' of employes; during the 

 jjirry packing and canning season from 

 7,000 to 10,000 peoi)le are engaged in 

 this work and leceived 

 the industry that has 

 ated through the able 

 Mr. Paulhamus.
