Joe's Outdoors
Joe's originated in 1952 when a young Army Air Corps pilot, Edward M. Orkney, returned from WWII and purchased a consignment of 2,000 army surplus sleeping bags for $1.50 each, which he sold at a modest profit from the back of his station wagon in Portland, Oregon.
Orkney continued to sell his surplus goods, first out of a tent, and later from a permanent location in a building on Vancouver Avenue in north Portland. By 1956 this store had grown to become a destination for bargain hunters looking for fun and unique products.
Lamiglas
Fish with confidence. It’s not just a tag line. It’s a mindset. A state of ultimate contentment achieved only when every factor within your control is controlled with absolute flawlessness. The cast. The presentation. The strike detection. The hook set. The fight. And the victory dance.
This kind of foresight comes with every Lamiglas rod we build. Exactly how we incorporate this element of confidence is outlined in great detail on the following pages. But it’s perhaps best explained by the tens of thousands of anglers out there who already possess it. Look for them next time you’re on the water. They’re the ones with fish in the nets and confidence written all over their faces.
Willie Boats
Willie Boats was started by drift boat designer Willie Illingworth, an innovator in the drift boat industry. Prior to Willie Boats, Willie had quite the history perfecting the first aluminum drift boats. In 1971 Willie spent three months building the very first aluminum McKenzie-style drift boat, wanting to build a boat that would be lighter and easier handling then the older style wooden drift boats. Willie was thrilled launching it and finding the maneuverability was excellent. Willie continued building aluminum drift boats and perfecting the design and soon was selling them under the name of Alumaweld Boats. Willie sold his share of Alumaweld in 1977 and waited four years to begin the business that is now today Willie Boats which was opened in 1981.
