The Washington Republican Washington County Friday April 26, 1901 Armour's Come Here. A Branch Poultry House For Washington. Tuesday of this week, S.Van SCOYK, of Clay Center, representative for the Armour Packing Company was here and made arrangements for opening up a branch house for Armour Packing Company. He rented the Bullis building opposite this office and business will commence at once. This will be a dressing and distributing point. Poultry, butter, eggs and hides will be the main business. Mr. Van Scoyk said Washington was a good poultry town and that car load lots could be sent from here west over the Burlington better than from Clay Center. He said he expected to make as good if not a better branch house for Washington as Clay Center affords, and the pay roll in Clay Center shows that the branch house there pays out abotu $4,000 a week for poultry, butter, eggs and hides. G.G. EYE of Clay Center is business manager and F.J. SCOTT of Emporia is bookkeeper.
