Tree Top, Inc. is a fruit processing cooperative headquartered in Selah, Washington. Bill
Charbonneau founded the enterprise in 1944 as a private company, shortly after he and his
family moved to Washington from Southern California. He purchased a small apple processing
plant, first operating under its existing name, Pomona Products, then changing the name to
Charbonneau Packing Corporation in 1946. He introduced the Tree Top apple juice brand in
1947. In 1960, a small local group of farmers joined together and created a grower
cooperative, buying out Charbonneau's company and the Tree Top name. Since then, Tree Top,
Inc. has operated continuously as a cooperative.
The collection includes historic corporate records, photographs, and ephemera of Tree Top,
Inc. In addition to the cooperative's records, the collection also includes earlier
materials from from Tree Top's predecessor company, which was owned by Bill Charbonneau. The
collection also contains oral histories and other materials created during company-sponsored
history projects in 1980, 2003, and 2008-2010.
The collection was organized by Amanda Van Laren when Tree Top, Inc. loaned the records to
historian David Stratton to support his research for a book-length company history. This
arrangement has been retained. The collection is organized in five series:
Series 1: Management Records, 1956-2009. This series consists of records related to the
management and operation of Tree Top, Inc. including the grower newsletter Tree Topics
(1968-1997), Apple Corps, plant newsletters, annual reports, growers' contracts, and
information on cooperatives.
Series 2: Public Relations, 1963-2004. This series consists of records related to Tree Top
public relations, including press releases and articles related to Tree Top or the juice
industry.
Series 3: Advertising, 1950s-2008. This series consists of Tree Top advertisements and
promotions, including copies of advertisements, product labels, and promotional
brochures.
Series 4: History, 1938-2008. This series includes textual documents and media relating to
Tree Top's history, as well as a large sequence of photographs (both documentary and
advertising), and other visual materials. It is divided into four subseries:
Subseries 4.1: History files. This subseries consists of a variety of textual documents.
Some were gathered together as key sources for David Stratton's research for his book, "Tree
Top: Creating a Fruit Revolution," and others were created in the course of his project
planning and execution. It includes a small amount of material related to founder Bill
Charbonneau; earlier company histories in various formats ("The Tree Top Story," materials
from 2003 employee oral histories, and historic fact sheets); related notes and compiled
historical data; and oral history project documentation.
Subseries 4.2: Photographs. This subseries consists of photographs (color and black and
white prints and negatives) of Tree Top facilities, employees, and events, as well as
photographs produced for advertising.
Subseries 4.3: Audiovisual and electronic media. This subseries consists of audio
recordings of oral histories, miscellaneous video recordings, and digital files of corporate
minutes.
Subseries 4.4: Oversized materials. This series consists of large-format items, including
advertisements, newspapers, mounted photographs, artwork, and posters.
Series 5: Artifacts. This series consists of promotional or souvenir items and other
realia.
The oral history audio recordings from Series 4, Box 17 were digitized in March 2021. The
audio files are retained both as unedited wav files and as speed-corrected mp3 files in
MASC’s archival digital storage.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions apply.

with final processing in 2012, under the supervision of Manuscripts Librarian Cheryl
Gunselman.
Files related to David Stratton's book, "Tree Top: Creating a Fruit Revolution" were
removed from the collection and processed separately as David Stratton Papers on Tree Top,
Inc., 1960-2010 (Cage
