Baxter Auto Parts had its beginning in 1936 in Chehalis, Washington. Ray S. Baxter and his new bride Wilma, both 24 years old, opened their business in a building fifteen by thirty feet in size. They paid only fifteen dollars a month rent. The opening of this small business would lead the Baxter family into being one of the leading auto parts and hi-performance suppliers in the Northwest.Their first store in Portland was opened in 1944. The building had previously been occupied by a market, thus there were folding doors in the front. One-half of this building was a machine shop which helped keep vehicles on the road for the war effort.The year 1949 brought a second Baxter store in the growing St. Johns area of N. Portland. In 1963 a third Baxter Auto Parts store was opened in Parkrose. The Parkrose area is located Northeast of Portland and proved to be a rapid growing area. In 1968 the Parkrose store was replaced with a new larger building.
