Oyster industry scrapbooks, 1922-1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/639984017

The Oyster industry scrapbooks are comprised of four volumes of newspaper clippings, correspondence, and photographs, mainly collected by Earl G. Brenner. Most of the clippings concern oysters, clams, oyster farming, the oyster industry, the history of oysters and oyster farming, advertising, and water pollution. The oyster industry's fight with Rayonier over water pollution from its pulp mills in the 1950s features prominently, as does Hilton's oyster stew. Ephemera includes posters, recipe booklets, and government pamphlets, such as "Washington State Shellfish" from the Washington State Department of Fisheries. Volumes 1-3 appear to have been compiled by Earl G. Brenner, while volume 4 was compiled by Earl R. Brenner. Major correspondents include the Washington State Pollution Control Commission.

The J.J. Brenner Oyster Co. was founded in 1893 by John Joseph Brenner in Olympia, Washington. The company flourished through the early part of the twentieth century, passing into the hands of J.J. Brenner's son, Earl G. Brenner (1893-1969). He sold many of his oyster beds in the 1960s, due to the economic woes afflicting oyster growers. In 1967, Earl G. Brenner's son, Earl R. Brenner (1921-2000), took over the family business. From the description of Oyster industry scrapbooks, 1922...
