FLAGSTAFF HISTORY

Flagstaff History: Home management was a popular career choice among youth

100 years ago

1925: J.W. Etter will open a milk depot on Front Street next door east of the Pine hotel. At first he will sell milk, cream, butter, cottage cheese and ice cream. Arrangements are made with farmers of outlying ranches to market their milk wholesale, saving them the cost of distribution and giving the benefit to retail trade. He hopes to be ready for business in two weeks. Mr. Etter is a wide awake, fine man and his new venture will be much appreciated by Flagstaff people. He owns a ranch at Dead Man’s Flat.



Susan Johnson has lived in Flagstaff for over 30 years and loves to delve into her adopted hometown’s past. She has written two books for the History Press, Haunted Flagstaff and Flagstaff’s Walkup Family Murders, and, with her son Nick, manages Freaky Foot Tours. You’ll find her hiking the trails with her corgi, Shimmer.

All events were taken from issues of the Arizona Daily Sun and its predecessors, the Coconino Weekly Sun and the Coconino Sun.
