Harrington Harvester Company Expands Facilities
A significant local manufacturing expansion is underway with the construction of several new buildings to increase production capacity.
The Dunning and Erich Harvester company of Harrington, Washington, began work this week on a building program that will materially increase the capacity of the plant. Four concrete buildings measuring 40 by 100 feet and a frame structure 50 by 200 feet are to be erected. The cost of these improvements will run close to $12,000.

Harrington’s agricultural history remains anchored in its support of local farm technology. This 1916 expansion reflects a period of intense industrial growth for small-town Washington that defined the region's economy for decades.
