A wide variety of packing options included water pack light syrup heavy syrup and frozen offerings which were packed into 10 oz. metal and paper fibre cans. Oregon Fruit Products was one of the many U.S. Companies to quickly expand their offerings with Abbot Laboratories notorious artificial sweetener Sucaryl Calcium Cyclamate which was marketed towards those dieters and customers with diabetes or other metabolic disorders wishing for sweet-tasting foods. However within 12 years after the “Oretetic†brand products were introduced in 1969 the FDA banned cyclamates due to two 1968 studies tracing links to bladder cancer. Gehlhar 1886-1969 originally purchased 10 acres in the West Side Fruit Farm district of Salem OR in 1910 and began farming and by 1920 was operating 160 acres producing cherries & prunes and later built the Gehlhar prune dryer in 1926. In 1931 he served as the first Oregon State Director of Agriculture and after a 1935 fire destroyed his fruit dryer the cannery remained and he chose to instead focus on canning and marketing canned fruit products for distribution in the Pacific Northwest. Although originally focused on canned fruits and then later frozen products by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the company began diversifying their product line. In 2011 the Gehlhar family sold the company to Ed Maletis who have now expanded to a new location in Salem OR.

The new packing house in Somerville MA included 6 acres of cold storage for dressed meats and packaged meats brought into the East from Chicago as well as maintaining local stockyards and slaughter house operations in and around Boston. Swift 1839-1903 had originally grown up and worked in West Sandwich Cape Cod MA and in the 1870’s moved to Chicago where he became a driving force in the meatpacking industry. He was the first to employ refrigerated cars over protests of other butchers and major railroads which rightly believed the refrigerated systems would threaten their lockhold on stock cars and animal pens. By the 1890’s Swift & Co. had established North Packing & Provision Co. and were transporting over 3000 carcasses a week into Boston forcing other firms such as Armour & Co. to copy their methods. The subsidiary also allowed him to overcome resistance from East Coast meat retailers who questioned safety of frozen meat and so vastly did he increase production the packing house was able to dominate the Eastern markets.

193558780Lowell MA & Boston MA: J.W. Greer Co. The Fellman Studio for Creative Photography 30 Huntington Ave.; Marion Photographers ca. 1935. Ten silver gelatin photographs sized 8 x 10 in. inserted through corner slots on Bainbridge Board sized 10.5 x 12 in. mimeograph typescript labels neatly mounted at lower fore-edge of all images some creasing to corners from having been inserted into slots many w/ pencil annotations nearly all w/ photographer’s imprints on versos minor scuffing & wear to boards some edgewear wear to corners still VG set. A scarce group of original sales photographs for Greer biscuit cracker & cookie making machinery which allowed automated production and packaging. The first image depicts the “Cutting Machine†which rolled the dough into sheets and cut out the individual crackers placing them onto conveyors to the ovens. The immense gas burning oven with valves and temperature mixers mounted alongside includes photos of both the discharge from the cutting machine onto the oven conveyor and the discharge onto the cooling conveyors. The final five photos focus on the filling and weighing machinery which would ensure the correct amounts per package and then pack them in rolls insert into cartons and tightly seal each carton. Greer 1876-1950 was a machinist and inventor who began producing some of the world’s first automated bakery and confectionery equipment before World War I founded J.W. Greer Co. in 1919 and would eventually grow to a company of over 650 employees. The company continued to expand through World War II and later became the Wire Belt Co. still operating today in Londonderry NH. Since half of these photographs were shot by a Lowell MA photographer these could possibly have been automated machines installed for use by the Lowell Cracker Co. beloved for their soda oyster crackers or the Johnson Educator Food Company best known for Crax crackers sprayed with butter oil.
