Kale Canning Company of Everson and well known in Whatcom county, has been a resident of this section since the days of his early childhood, being a member of one of the pioneer families. There are few men in the county who have a better acquaintance with the history of the rise and progress of the now well established and flourishing community and of its development since the days when it was practically a wilderness. Born in Iowa in 1878 Mr. Kale was four years of age when in 1882 his parents, C. S. and Charlotte E. (McNeil) Kale, came to the Territory of Washington with their family and settled on a homestead farm just south of where the village of Everson came into being in 1892. The father, who died in 1920, was founder of the canning company which bears his name and was one of the substantial and progressive pioneers of the Everson neighborhood. He was also a good farmer and developed a good piece of farm property. In 1915, in association with his sons, Edward S. and Albert A. Kale, he took over the cannery that in 1913 had been established at Everson by the Nooksack Valley Fruit Growers Association and reorganized it under the firm name of the C. S. Kale Canning Company, of which company he continued the head until his death, when he was succeeded by his son, Edward S. Kale, now president of the company. The plant occupies a block (fifteen lots) in the village of Everson and is equipped in thoroughly up-to-date fashion for the business there carried on. It has an annual capacity of sixty thousand cases of canned goods, besides twelve hundred barrels of berries, and during the season as many as two hundred and fifty persons are employed in its operation. The plant is electrically driven, the best modern machinery being used to insure efficient expedition of operation, and it maintains its own railway siding. The products mainly are marketed under the popular "Nooksack" and "Everson" brands, which find a wide distribution throughout the country. A considerable portion of the output also is sent out under the trade name of dealers and distributors who buy in quantity but all have the fine quality that has created the wide demand for the products of this admirably directed cannery - one of the best in the northwest. The management of the business is in the hands of Edward S. Kale and his brother, A. A. Kale, whose continual insistence on standard quality production has done so much to popularize the products of their plant in the markets supplying a discriminating trade. The third brother of this family, Jessie A. Kale, continues to operate the old home farm and the family is well established in this county. Edward S. Kale, as noted above, was but a child when he came into the wilderness of Whatcom county in 1882. He was reared on the home farm in the Everson neighborhood, finishing his education in the public schools under the tutelage of Professor Bradley. He early became interested in carpentering and for some years was engaged in the building trades, ten years of that time being employed outside his home community. When in 1915 the C. S. Kale Canning Company was organized he took an active part with his father and brother in the establishment of the business in Everson and has since been thus engaged, being widely known in canning circles throughout the northwest. In addition to his business he has other interests of a substantial character, including a place on the directorate of the Rockdale store, and is an influential factor in local commercial and industrial circles. On June 16, 1904 (sic), Mr. Kale was united in marriage to Miss Lela May Fenton of the neighboring city of Blaine and they have four children, Elvin, who is now in college, Margaret, James and Mary Lou. They have a pleasant home at Everson and have ever taken an interested and helpful part in the general social activities of the community. Mr. and Mrs. Kale are republicans and are properly interested in local civic affairs. Mr. Kale is a member of the Woodmen of the World.
