What’s the secret to thriving for more than 100 years? by Sarah Arney The Times/Globe ARLINGTON — Keeping up with the times drives the business strateg y for the current owners of Arlington Hardware Store. “ We h ave to pla n around the demographic changes in the area,” said Mike Jones, who acquired the hardware store from the founders, the Gray family, in 1983. Siblings Jack Gray and Joann Gray inherited the store from their father and grandfather who founded the store in 1903. When Jones purchased the store, he catered to the many dairy farmers in the valley. “We carried merchandise to meet the needs of those families,” Mike Jones said. “At that time we could not give away a sack of steer manure.” Most of those farms have now disappeared. “Now we sell hundreds of bags of steer manure and are stocking more
lawn and garden items,” Jones said. They offer another special niche during this current troubled economy. “We have knowledgeable employees who can help folks fix things rather throw them away,” Mike said. Mike’s son, Taylor Jones is now general manager of the store, although Mike still shows up. Taylor sees the store as belonging to the community. “We are the keeper of the keys,” Taylor said, adding he sees the store as a community institution. “It’s like a big family reunion once a month,” Taylor said, referring to Super Saturday, when the store offers 20 percent off on the first Saturday each month. “It’s time for everyone to catch up with old friends.” The store’s employees are part of that family of friends. When the long-time manager of the paint department, Porter John-
son died, his cousin Phil Johnson took over the department. Terry Doiran retired more than six years ago, but he still fills in when he is needed. Mary Wold recently retired after 28 years at the store and her daughter works there now. “Mary comes in to help her daughter now and then,” Taylor said. Karen Ricketts has been around for 20 years, and she and Christie Cook are known as the “Pumpkin Ladies” for coordinat ing t he store’s pumpkin decorating contest for the city’s Hometown Halloween. The store is famous for its creaky wooden floors, animal heads and free popcorn on Super Saturdays. The original animal heads were left by Jack Gray, who hunted them with his father, Rick Gray. The hardware store received another collection of animals as a gift from a dentist in Seattle, and they were in storage until the store’s recent expansion. Now a stuffed
beaver and porcupine join the elk and moose heads watching over the hubub. Arlington Hardware is a constant donor to good causes. “We support education, the food bank, Scouts, and putting clothes on kids backs,” Taylor said. “My goal for the future is to retain the family-friendly feel of the store.”
Next oldest business in Arlington, Weller Funeral Home
Other than The Arlington Times that is, and Arlington Hardware Store, Weller Funeral Home is the next oldest business in Arlington. Weller Funeral Home has been in business for 104 years, since 1905. One might say the key to their success is that every single person needs their service, eventually. That’s the line that community advisor Pat Oakes

▼ SECRET Continued from page 4
What’s the secret to thriving for more than 100 years? to their success is that every single person needs their service, eventually. That’s the line that community advisor Pat Oakes used when marketing packages for the funeral home. She resigned recently and now Larry Mitsules is doing that job. Along with Mitsules doing sales, the current staff is director Dan
Keane and his assistant and funeral detail clerk, Mary Jean Harmon. Bob Weller purchased Moll Funeral Home in 1961 and operated it until 1988. The current building of Weller Funeral Home on McLeod Avenue was the town’s first hospital, said Allen Ice, the manager of the facility
after Weller sold it to Universal Funeral Homes based in Portland. After a couple of years, Universal sold Weller Funeral Home to Dignity, an international group, which also kept the name. Ice managed the Arlington funeral home from 1989 - 1997 and again from 2003 - 2008. Ice said he got into the
funeral business after living in a mortuary as a student at Seattle Pacific University. “I got comfortable after about three months,” Ice said, adding it’s common for people to chuckle when they hear his name. He said the biggest change in the industry is the use of computers for obituaries and contracts, and
that methods for treating the deceased have not changed in the 30 years he has been in the business. He does agree, however, that cremation is on the increase. “Arlington Cemetar y is about 30 acres and has space for another 50 years or so,” Ice said.

Serving our communities for more than a century ■ The Arlington Times proudly holds the title oldest business in town If there is a business out there older than The Arlington Times, please call us. Otherwise, we claim the honor of being the oldest business in Arlington, and the longest continuously running newspaper in the state. Some newspapers, including the Seattle PI, started earlier than we did, but they took breaks. The Times sister publication The Marysville Globe is close behind The Times at 117 years. The Arlington Times will celebrate 121 years in August 2009. Established in 1889, there were two newspapers in town, the Times and Haller News. The newspapers merged before the community did, however, and the two-story building at 426 N. Olympic, now the home of Denton Wellness Center, was built for the paper in 1898. The other amazing thing is the paper was run by the same publisher, Cal Marsh, for a good half of the century. Frank Hall Marsh became coowner of the paper in 1945 when
his father, Cal Marsh retired. Frank Marsh just died last year, in June 2008. Sim Wilson II and his sister Muriel Wilson bought the Times in 1965, and his son, Sim Wilson III, was publisher of the paper until 1997 when he sold it to Sun News, Inc. One of four owners, Kris Passey was publisher for 10 and a half years, until August 2007, when he sold the Times, Globe and the business journals in Wenatchee and Bellingham to Sound Publishing Inc. The Arlington Times spent more than 100 years in the wooden building built in 1898. Passey moved the business out of that building in February 2002, to 123 N. Olympic Ave. He moved it again to 233 N. Olympic Ave., across from City Hall in June of 2006 and sold the papers to Sound Publishing Inc. in August 2007, when his business partner, Bob Marshall was suffering with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Marshall died soon after the papers were sold and Sim Wilson died February of this year. The Arlington Times and the Marysville Globe have both won state-w ide genera l e xcellence awards presented by the Washington Newspaper Publisher Association annually since 1998.
■ The Marysville Globe has been providing your local news since 1892 The Marysville Globe published its first edition on Feb. 2, 1892, and replaced Marysville’s first newspaper, the Leader, which went bankrupt shortly after it was established in 1890. The Marysville Globe has remained in continuous publication as Marysville’s hometown paper since then, and has become the oldest business institution in the city of Marysville. One of the larger changes in The Marysville Globe’s history came in 1947, when Sim Wilson Jr., who published and owned the paper at the time with his wife Ruth, switched from letterpress printing, which was the common mode of printing the paper back then, to photo-offset printing, which provided readers with an easier-to-read newspaper, allowed for more usage of local pictures, and consumed less time and money. The Marysville Globe was the first in the state of Washington, and one of the few in the nation during that period, to print photooffset. Sim Wilson III and his sister, Muriel Wilson Williams, purchased The Marysville Globe from their parents, Sim Jr. and Ruth. As the paper’s publisher and owner, Sim III went on to set the record
for longest leadership of the paper, by operating The Marysville Globe from 1965-1997. Kris and Catherine Passey partnered with Bob and Debra Marshall to form Sun News Inc. in February of 1997, to purchase The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times from Sim Wilson III, and later purchased similar community newspapers in Idaho and Utah. Debra Marshall began chemotherapy for cancer in 1993, and late in 2006, Marshall was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.” In a column published in August of 2007, Kris Passey wrote that “the Marshalls’ mounting health problems have made the management task unworkable.” Sun News sold The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times to Sound Publishing Inc. on Aug. 10, 2007, along with the Wenatchee and Bellingham Business Journals, and the Express Shopper. Sound Publishing owns more than 30 weekly, biweekly and daily newspapers, as well as nearly 20 classified shoppers in the Nickel Publications group, and nearly 20 network partner newspapers in northwestern Washington and northwestern Oregon, which adds up to more papers than any other single owner in the area. Sound Publishing is a subsidiary of Black Press Ltd. of Victoria, B.C. The current publisher of The Marysville Globe and Arlington Times is DeAnna Emborski.

Optimism contagious among local owners of new business by Danielle Szulczewski The Times/Globe While the national economic news has been pessimistic recently, it hasn’t stopped some local business owners from venturing out into the market. And generally, in spite of what one hears on television, they are an optimistic bunch.
Arlington’s Newest
For Arlington resident Paula Harding, it was a gut decision to open Paula’s Perfect Pet Care on Olympic Avenue in Arlington two months ago after operating part time out of her home. One of her first jobs had been as a receptionist and bather at a pet grooming business when she was 18. She learned the trade on the job and has 23 years of experience. “I was with the fire department as an EMT and in school part time. I really missed this, so I went into it full time,”
Harding said. “The price was right.” A pet lover with four dogs, four cats and three horses, Harding is building her business from the ground up. She sells pet apparel on consignment and has room within her storefront to add merchandise. She currently only grooms dogs, as cats usually require a second set of hands. But she considers the business one buffered from the current economic state. “People still care for their pets,” she said.
Marysville’s Newest
“Putting it on paper, it probably wasn’t the wisest decision I could make,” said Kathleen Shalan, who purchased the artistic home decor shop Country Rose last fall. “Everyone advised me against it, my CPA, everybody. Nobody thought it was a good idea except me.” But after weathering the post-Christmas slump, Shalan
still sounds happy with her decision. The business, located in the Seattle Premium Outlets mall, was a profitable one when she invested her pension in its purchase and she has applied her own tastes to the store’s wares. But despite the mall’s reputation as a tourist destination, Shalan has found success marketing her store to shoppers who live in the north Snohomish County area. She applies that attitude to the merchandise she carries too, as much as she can. Quirky signs with philosophical messages are painted by an artist in Lake Stevens and she stocks handmade soaps from a Kirkland-area soapmaker. “I don’t think there’s ever going to be a best time to get started,” she added. “I kind of think when times are slow, not as many people will be starting up a business, so there will be less competition.” Arlington locals Mark and Cindy Langmas shared some
of Shalan’s philosophy when they decided to branch out from their successful catering business to opening Pacific Rim Supper Club in the restaurant space at Best Western in Marysville. “You know, we’re trying to battle the blues. A lot of people are down,” said Cindy Langmas of their dining and entertainment concept. “We want to make people happy, we want to give them a place to go that they can afford.” Although adjoined to a hotel, Langmas describes a get-
away for Marysville and Arlington locals featuring talent from within the community. With a stage large enough to host a musical group and a dance floor surrounded by tables, Langmas talks about the facility as an entertainment, as well as dining, destination. They’ve hosted everything from the Arlington High School Jazzmine quartet to a local band that specializes in Southern rock. “It’s classy, but yet it’s comfortable. Everybody is welcome,” she said.

While Paula Harding’s chihuahua puppy, Octavius, doesn’t require much grooming, he enjoys the warmth of his shirt, like ones Harding sells in her grooming shop.
Country Rose manager Carlene Braaten and owner Kathleen Shalan are quick with a smile or a laugh as they greet customers at the arts store in the Seattle Premium Outlets mall.

Hilton’s Pharmacy, Dunn Lumber among oldest businesses in Marysville by Kirk Boxleitner The Arlington Times They’re both familyowned businesses that have been around for more than a century, and they’ve had generations of customers in the local community. Hilton’s Pharmacy and Dunn Lumber are among the oldest businesses in Marysville.
Hilton’s Pharmacy
Even before the Hilton family purchased it, the pharmacy in downtown Marysville had a couple of decades of history under its belt. The Everett Drug Company opened a branch store in Marysville in 1896, but it was sold to W.K. Bartels in July of 1898 and renamed the Marysville Drug Company. One week later, in August of 1898, Edgar Blair, a pharmacist for the Everett Drug Company, bought the store from Bar tels and renamed it the City Drug Store. The store was located at what’s now the intersection of First Street and Beach Avenue, and Blair
sold it to Carl Stanley in October of 1910, who in turn sold it to Robert Bell 12 months later. W.E. Mansfield changed the name of the store to the Mansfield Drug Company, when he purchased it in 1913, and when Jeffrey Hilton Sr. bought it from Mansfield on Dec. 7, 1919, he renamed it the Hilton Pharmacy. “Jeffrey Hilton Sr. was my great-grandfather,” s a id Ma r y K irk la nd, owner of the Hilton Pharmacy since Jan. 1, 1984. “He was a farmer, not a pharmacist, but he had 11 children, two of whom became pharmacists, so I think he wanted a way of keeping his family close.” Hilton Pharmacy moved to Third Street in the early 1920s, before eventually settling in its current location at the intersection of Third Street and State Avenue, and it soon boasted a soda fountain, ice cream, confectionaries and even sandwich meals for its customers. Jeffrey Hilton Jr. assumed ownership of the pharmacy from his father in 1953, but 10
years later, he sold the store to Clyde Lashua, a former intern at the store who was not a relative of the Hiltons. Lashua owned the store until Kirkland, who had interned under him at the store since 1968, purchased it from him in 1984. In her 25 years of running the Hilton Pharmacy, Kirkland has seen fewer locally-owned businesses populating downtown Marysville over the years, but at the same time, she characterized customers of locallyowned businesses, such as her own, as being as loyal as ever.
Shortly after Jeffrey Hilton Sr. purchased and renamed the store in 1919, Hilton’s Pharmacy moved to Third Street in the early 1920s. in 1927, they returned to Seattle and received capital from their father to open a retail lumber business. In 1967, Dunn Lumber’s longstanding dreams of expanding into Snohomish County became a reality, when they purchased the old Marysville Builders Supply, just west of State Avenue on Grove Street. The area covered by Dunn Lumber’s current sales building was the remainder of an old fruit orchard, with a number of still-producing trees, at the time the company purchased the property. A small sales office and two separate
Dunn Lumber
Wisconsin native Albert Dunn founded the Dunn Lumber company in 1907 in his hometown of Rhinelander, but by 1910, he’d decided to relocate to Seattle, to take advantage of abundant timber from Pacific Northwest forests. Albert’s eldest sons, Charles and Ed Dunn, took jobs with a lumber retailer in California, to prepare them for that business field, and
storage sheds backed up to the railroad tracks on the west side. Dunn Lumber cleared the orchard for their sales building, and went on to build the large open storage shed that now exists on the south end of the property. Back then, their local competition was the long-established Marysville Fuel and Lumber, with E and E Lumber operating largely as a fencing supply specialist. Fred Pelky, a retired tugboat captain, lived directly across Grove Street and served as the property’s unofficial “night watchman,” until his death several years ago.
For mer M a r ys v i l le Dunn Lumber Manager Jim Coshow reca lled their store not only gaining customers from as far away as Mount Vernon, but also going above and beyond to assist folks in their backyard, such as when their employees used a forklift truck to push a stalled car off the railroad tracks on Grove Street, moments before a train made it to the crossing. Coshow, Jerry Roach and Jerry Campbell are among the many former managers of Dunn Lumber in Marysville, which is now being managed by Kurtice Poole.
