The All-pins are originally of Wisconsin, where the father of Mr. Arpin senior, Edmund P. Ar- pin, was one of the pioneer cran- berry growers of that state and president of Wisconsin Cranberry Sales Company for about 16 years. The new development is at Shoal Branch, near the Haines cranberry properties. The site was selected by Mr. Arpin, senior, who is in the nursery and the pulpwood business. With some knowledge of cranberries, he visualized the site as perfect New Jersey cranberry land and after advise that it was, the company was organized. The area was dammed and then flooded for two years, clearing, ditching and the installation of 11 flood gates and diversion of water into the project has been com- pleted. Set to Early Blacks Last month Webb Arpin was in Massachusetts buying vines for the planting, the vines purchased being Early Blacks. This variety only will be utilized for the present, at least. The vines will be disced in. The president of the company is the elder Mr. Arpin, while Webb is secretary, treasurer and general manager, being on the job to do the actual work. Both Webb and Laurence and their father and mother also were born in Wiscon- sin Rapids. Laurence now is en- gaged in the heavy construction business with a side line in cosme- tics in California. Both boys at- tended the University of California, where Laurence majored in busi- ness administration, while Webb studied architecture for three years before serving in the Navy. After discharge he returned to the Uni- versity of California, but later was urged to go to New Jersey by his father. Mr. Walkup is an attorney in San Francisco. Webb is man-ied to the former Esther Bandlin of Wisconsin Rapids. Before the partnership was formed the National Cranberry As- sociation was requested to investi- gate the 150 acres of property in- volved and give an opinion of it's possibilities.
