INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of more than 1,000 other city, county, state and national Directories, present to sub- scribers and the general public, this, the 1960 edition of the Astoria City Directory.
Confidence in the growth of Astoria and Clatsop County's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be created as sections of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting the community to the world.
The enviable position occupied by R. L. POLK & CO.'S Directories in the estimation of the public throughout the coun- try, has been established by rendering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and pro- fessional men and residents, the publishers feel that the results of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Astoria City Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.
Four Major Departments
The several essential departments are arranged in the following order:
I. THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major de- partment of the directory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and professional concerns of the city, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings, are the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to present a more com- plete list of their products or services than is possible in the catalog itself. The Yellow Pages represent reference advertis- ing at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversified community like Astoria, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermed- iary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and pro- fessional world.
II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents, business firms and cooperations for Astoria, Gearhart, Ham- mond, Seaside and Warrenton is the second major department, printed on white paper. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Astoria, Hammond, Gear- hart, Seaside and Warrenton, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in these cities. The Rural Route Box holders are also included in this section.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
III. THE ASTORIA DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE for Astoria is the third major department, printed on green paper. In this section the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order; the num- bers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special fea- tures of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes, and the listing of telephone numbers.
IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY for Astoria is the fourth major department, printed on blue paper.
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, depicting in truthful terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site, and as an educational center. To broadcast this information the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as per- petual and reliable advertisements of Astoria and Clatsop County, for business men, everywhere realize that the City Directory represents a community as it really is.
Through the courtesy of the Publishers of the Astoria City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of over 1,000 Directory Librar- ies installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recogni- tion by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

General Review
Astoria and Clatsop County are rich in historic interest and importance. Early events occuring here had far reaching effects, eventually resulting in Oregon and the Pacific North- west becoming a part of the United States instead of the pos- session of a foreign power.
Urged on by the desire to find a fabled "Northwest Pas- sage" by water across the North American continent, Spanish and British explorers had sailed along the Oregon and Wash- ington coastline, but the Columbia River was not discovered until 1792, when Captain Robert Gray of Boston entered the river and named it after his ship, the "Columbia."
In 1804, President Jefferson appointed Captains Meri- weather Lewis and William Clarke to head an expedition across the western plains and mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis and Clarke explored the Lower Columbia region and spent the winter of 1805-1806 at Fort Clatsop, near Astoria.
Fort Clatsop, a national memorial park, the 1805-06 head- quarters of Lewis & Clark near Astoria was rebuilt in its exact replica in 1955 and is one of the finest tourist attractions on the Pacific Coast today. Located four miles south of Astoria on U. S. No. 101 the fort was rebuilt on the exact spot of the original fort.
In 1810, John Jacob Astor of New York organized the Paci- fic Fur Company to engage in the fur trade on the Columbia River. This company sent the ship "Tonquin" by sea and an- other party overland, the two to meet at the mouth of the Columbia River. The men in the "Tonquin" arrived at their destination in March 1811, and built Fort Astoria, the first permanent American settlement on the Pacific Coast. After many hardships and loss of lives the overland party arrived in the winter of 1811. Due to the War of 1812 and the loss of relief ships, the fort passed into the possession of the British, but was restored to the American flag in 1818.
During the following decades Astoria was the goal of traders, explorers, missionaries and pioneer settlers, and on the shores of the Columbia are the last resting places of many

INTRODUCTION
of these early intrepid adventurers. These historic events are illustrated on the pictorial frieze surrounding the main portion of the Astor Column, a concrete monolith 125 feet high, lo- cated on Coxcomb Hill, overlooking a scenic panorama of mountains, oceans and rivers. This unique monument is the only one of its kind in the United States and attracts thousands of visitors annually.
Astoria today is a modern city of about 11,000 population, the commercial, financial and shipping center of the Lower Columbia River district of Northwestern Oregon and South- western Washington. Most of the Astoria business district was rebuilt following a disastrous fire in 1922 and its stores and office buildings are a credit to a city of its size.
Astoria is the headquarters of the Columbia River fishing industry and along its waterfront are many plants engaged in canning, curing and freezing fish. Here is the largest flour mill in Oregon. Other manufacturer products are butter, ice cream, powdered milk, lumber, veneer, fish oils and meal and a number of specialty products. Many of these plants are open to visitors.
Astoria's school system is housed in modern, well-equipped buildings. The principal church denominations, leading fra- ternal organizations, patriotic societies and service clubs are represented in the city's social life. The finest turf athletic field in the state and other playgrounds provide facilities for many outdoor sports. Water sports enthusiasts find ideal conditions for motor boats and sail boats.
At Astoria is located the huge Tongue Point Naval Base, the only regular Navy base in the State of Oregon. It is the home of the Columbia River Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet, A large permanent base for the Reserve Fleet, U. S. Mari- time Commission is also located at Astoria. At there two installations are many vessels which can be reactivated on extremely short notice, in the event of a national emer- gency.
Astoria is located at the confluence of the Columbia River and Youngs Bay, about ten miles from the mouth of the River. The city is at the junction of three transcontinental motor routes-U. S. Highway No. 30, starting on the Atlantic Coast and ending at Astoria; U. S. Highway No. 101, paralleling the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Canada, and U. S. Highway No. 26 from Nebraska to Astoria. Other modern improved highways lead from Astoria into the farming and timber districts of the city's trade area. Passenger service is provided by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle and Northern Pacific.
At the larger waterfront docks ocean liners load for ports around the world. Fast, frequent ferry service across the Columbia River connects the highway systems of Oregon and Washington.
Astoria's hotels, restaurants, garages and a modern retail shopping district furnish a complete, satisfactory service to the traveling public.

INTRODUCTION
Basic Industrial Resources
Astoria is the headquarters of the Columbia River fishing industry. Plants located in or near Astoria produce canned, frozen and cured salmon, fish meal and oil with an estimated value of $30,000,000 annually. A newly developed industry, steadily growing in economic importance, is the tuna fishing and packing industry. White meat albacore tuna are caught by deep-sea trollers beyond the mouth of the Columbia River in the Pacific Ocean, and the majority of salmon canneries have facilities for tuna canning also. Pilchards, used for fish meal and oil, are taken with purse seines by boats operating in the Pacific Ocean beyond the three-mile limit. About two thousand boats of various sizes and types are engaged in the Columbia River fishing industry.
Timber, several varieties, all growing to immense size, forms the basin of a large logging and lumbering industry in Clatsop County. Fir, hemlock, spruce and cedar grow thickly on the slopes of the Coast Range. The logs are hauled by train or motor truck to tidal streams, then towed to Columbia River sawmills. There they are made into every kind of lum- ber or converted to other wood products, such as veneer, ply- wood, shingles, pulp and paper, eventually going to markets all over the world.
Agriculture-highly specialized, producing top quality, high value crops-is concentrated mostly along the Columbia River and its Tributaries and in coastal river valleys. The principal dairy farms are stocked with herds of high produc- ing agricultural activity. Dairying is favored by a long period of green pasture, large yields of root and forage crops.
Other important agricultural products are eggs, poultry, bent grass seed, cranberries, bulbs and vegetables. Fresh garden peas are shipped by carloads to eastern markets, where their exceptional quality brings high prices.
Climate
The geographical location of Astoria produces a mild equable climate, spring-like during most of the year. There are no extremes of heat or cold. Temperatures below freezing are usually of only a few days' duration and there are no summer "heat waves" or drought periods. The average frost- less growing season is nearly ten months. The mean maximum temperature in December is 43. The average annual rainfall is about 76 inches, most of which falls between November 1st and March 1st.
Recreational Attractions
Astoria is at the center of a beach resort recreational area along the Oregon and Washington coasts north and south of the Columbia River. The. Clatsop beaches offer the vacationist and tourist unequalled opportunity for rest and recreation. Southward from the Columbia River for thirty miles reach the smooth, surfwashed sands of the beaches.
Along this stretch of interesting ocean front are located the resort communities of Seaside, Gearhart and Cannon Beach. There are accommodations to satisfy individual desire

or fit any expense budget-modern hotels, comfortable cot- tages, auto courts or camping sites. The restaurants and markets offer all kinds of fresh sea food and garden vege- tables.
Many interesting and historic tourist attractions are to be found in and near Astoria, including the famous Astor Column, Fort Clatsop, Fort Astoria, Fort Stevens State Park, the wreck of Peter Iredale, Saddle Mountain State Park, Ecola Park, plus many other attractions for the tourist.
The Astoria Chamber of Commerce, 14th and Commercial Street maintains an information service for tourists and others interested in Astoria and Clatsop County. Booklets, maps and other material are available free to inquirers.
GEARHART
A Post Office on the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway; 15 miles southwest of Astoria, and 3 miles from Seaside. Gear- hart has a population of 565.
SEASIDE
Courtesy Chamber of Commerce
The City of Seaside is located on Clatsop Beach at the Junction of the Necanicum and Wahanna Rivers 79 miles west of Portland via the Sunset Highway. It is the terminus of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway. Seaside is the most im- portant beach resort in the Pacific Northwest on the Pacific Ocean and has a permanent population of 3,761 (1960 Census) with as high as 30,000 visitors during the summer months. Seaside is the home of the Miss Oregon Pageant which is held in Seaside each summer. The city is served by the Grey- hound Motor Stages and the West Coast Airlines. From Port- land it is little more than 11/2 hour's driving time to the resort city officially designated as the "End of the Lewis and Clark Trail".
