Title	Nye & Naumes Packing House in Medford, Oregon, back of building
Description	Back side of the Nye & Naumes Packing House, the S. Fir side of the building, across from Medford Ice
Name	Naumes, Inc.
Name Description	Naumes, Inc. was established in 1946 as the Nye & Naumes Packing House by William Joseph "Joe" Naumes, Jr and Stephen G. Nye, Jr selling product under the NANPAK label at 619 South Grape Street in Medford, Oregon. It was the first ground level fruit packing plant in the northwest setting a new efficiency standard in fruit packing house design. The building was 220x67" frame and concrete with an open interior as bowstring trusses supported the roof. The interior was designed to accomodate a new technology - fork-lifts that could carry up to 42 boxes at a time, moving packed fruit by conveyor belt to the Growers Refrigerator Company's adjacent cold storage facilty. On June 26, 1946 a fire in Medford's fruit packing district destroyed several Fir Street concerns, bringing at least Crystal Springs' 1946 harvest to the new Nye & Naumes facility which expanded rapidly. Naumes had an interest in Associated Fruit which was taken up by David P. Lawry in March 1950. Joe Naumes bought out Nye in the mid-late 1960s, and in the 1970s, children Mike and Sue returned to help manage the company. Joe Naumes died on July 4, 1989. At the time of his death, the Naumes family owned 7,000 acres of fruit and nut trees in Washington, Oregon, and California and was said to be the largest producer of bosc pears in the world. Today, Mike Naumes, Laura Ernest Naumes and their children, Joe, Cynthia, and Sean manage the family enterprise.
