In 1920, Ray and his father Albert started what became the Ray-Mailing Cannery, which later became part of Birdseye Frozen Foods. The younger Ray bought the Hawthorn Farm from Rachel Hawthorn in 1933.〔(''Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon v. Portland General Electric, et. al'' ) (1999) 161 Or. App. 388, 985 P.2d 222.〕 The farm, then east of Hillsboro, was around and grew over the years with Ray adding more parcels of land to his holdings later totaling about .〔 Ray made his money from food processing and growing hops, and also raised thoroughbred horses. He had a race track on his farm and was instrumental in the creation of Portland Meadows race track.〔
