The Owens' were known for fair pay, good working conditions, safe matches, and not tolerating outside talent bringing their problems into the territory. You weren't going to get a crazy payday there, but you could earn reliably enough to have a reasonable lifestyle for raising a family. The reptation for safe reliable workers that don't cause problems meant that if you needed a payday there was always a demand for PNW guys to work as jobbers all over.
