Swetland & Son, 273 Morrison St., Portland, Oregon:
"One of the first confectionery shops to be established in the Northwest opened for business in
Portland in 1886 at 51 Washington Street under the guiding hand of Edwin Payson Swetland.
The Swetlands were a family of confectioners and they had operated a similar establishment in Springfield, Mass. before
moving their family and business to Portland. Edwin and Laura’s sons, Louis and Lot, were both active in the business.
The first ad for Swetland’s appeared in the Portland Oregonian on August 11, 1888.
In 1890, Swetland’s advertisied on June 7 that they had opened new “ice cream rooms” and by October they served
oysters and welcomed shopping luncheons for the ladies.
In November 1890, they advertised that they served “coffee royal” and in
June of 1891, they delivered ice cream to picnics and parties.
It was announced on July 4,
1898
that they had moved to a new store at 273 Morrison
, near Fourth Street.
In 1902, Swetland’s advertised that they offered “Frozen Dainties and Creamed Strawberries.”
An announcement appeared in the Oregonian on May 31, 1903 that Manager L.Q. Swetland had opened
Swetland Candy Company at 344 Washington Street where he oversaw the manufacture of Swetland’s candy.
On April 6,
1909
, an announcement in the Oregonian noted that Swetland’s had
moved one building down to new and larger quarters next door at 269-271 Morrison Street."
