An executive of valuable experience, a real asset to the company he represents, 
is Arthur L. Hill, the popular superintendent of the California Packing 
Corporation, at Yuba City.  He was born at Yakima, Wash., the son of A. L. and 
Mary Allen Hill, pioneers on the Pacific Coast, later locating in Sutter County. 
 He received his education in the public schools; and while yet a young man, he 
went into the fruit industry, working for various organizations in different 
parts of the State, and giving satisfaction to each.  He was particular, in the 
case of each engagement, to add to his knowledge of industrial and other 
conditions, as much as he could, and gradually he built up a stock of first-hand 
information that has proved of value to him in his present position.
Although away from Sutter County a part of the time, Mr. Hill always regarded 
this section as his home; and in 1910, he came back to take charge of this large 
plant, which has grown to its present imposing proportions, with its very 
complete and up-to-date equipment, since he assumed control and accepted the 
responsibility.  A modest man, fond of his home, and his family of three 
children, Mr. Hill would be the last to claim much for his life and work; yet in 
making such a success of an enterprise so representative of this district, he 
has accomplished much for the general welfare and has helped to call the 
attention of the outside world to the natural advantages of Sutter and Yuba 
Counties.
