HENRY L. ALLDIS:  Henry L. Alldis, of Chehalis, dates his residence in Western
Washington from 1907.  He is now conducting a general machine shop, in which
business he has been engaged since 1914.  He came to the west from Minnesota and
had previously lived in Canada, but is a native of London, England, his birth
having there occurred in 1884.  It was in 1903, when a youth of nineteen years,
that he crossed the Atlantic to Canada and later he went to Minnesota, after
which he engaged in work as a machinist at various points along the Pacific
coast.  He had learned his trade in London and as the years have gone by his
powers have developed through the exercise of effort.  The Chehalis Machine
Works succeeded to the business of the Chehalis Founry and Machine Company and
in 1914 Mr. Alldis became proprietor.  In July, 1915, he erected his present
building, which is forty by seventy feet, and removed the machinery from the old
plant.  He conducts a general machine shop and does all kinds of repair work.
The shop is supplied with electric power and equipped with modern machinery.  He
solicits business from all over his county and his patronage is steadily
increasing, for he does expert work in his line, is reliable in his prices and
strictly honorable in all his business relations.
	Mr. Alldis was married in Chehalis in 1909 to Miss Irene Lakeman, and they
have become the parents of three sons, Robert, Ralph and Henry.  Fraternally Mr.
Alldis is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Woodmen of
the World.  In politics he is not active, yet he is not remiss in the duties of
citizenship and cooperates in various well defined plans and measures to further
the interest and promote the welfare of the city in which he resides.
