Scope and content
It's "Peach-A-Reno" time in Buckley. Princess Mae Olson, left, holds a sign promoting the second annual peach festival to be held on August 5. Standing on the ladder above Olson is Princess Muriel Bailey and Queen Emily Madden. The festivities honor the development of the Pacific Gold peach, which promises to boost a local economy that once relied on logging. Pioneer nurseryman William M. Schwab has spent 12 years developing a peach that is ideally suited for Western Washington's climate and culture. This year the Schwabs harvested 30 tons of peaches from 250 trees. Their orchard is located one-half mile north of Buckley on the Enumclaw highway. (T. Times, 8/1/1939; 8/5/1939,p. 1; 4/14/1940, p.22).
