'rcd some facis IN rcgurd TO their business. This
q their first season. md they did hut little until
peaches came In. Their establishment Is one OF |
lhe best can preserve more produce in given |
spacc OF time than any other in this State or |
New Jersey and, according H. the decision Of
the Alden Company, in New York, Of better
quality. They started with berries. and nfter
preserving about 1000 pounds, began on peaches.
IN the space OF five weeks they put M 400t bas-
keis, equal 10 about $4,000 pounds Of fruit.
Nine thousand pounds of these peaches are pared
fruit, and arc put mp In pound boxes, marked
prime, aud with directions how TO use These
boxes are sold ut fifty cents, reiail and when
used IN eating arc equal TO half peek Of The
fresh fruit, and require but little or no sugar.
Under these considerations the preserved frui, Is
as cheap in the Northern markets ms the natural
frni, in the proper season. A box Of this prirnc
trnii will make from ten 10 fourteen pies. This
company sent some pies, made from their pre-
served peaches, TO the Fair lately held 10 West
Chester. which received diploma for sul,eriorit,
over pies made from dried fruit, in which they
were put IN competition
During peach season, this establishment fire.
qusnils run through $50 baskets peaches In
twenty -four hours, which Is a greater quantity
than any other establishment has attained within
thai time, although repeatedly tried q, Milford
and other places.
They have put up ~, 900 ears Of corn. prodn-
ducing 1900 pounds; 1900 pounds of tomatoes
sweet potatoes, besides small quantities of va
rous kinds OF fruits and vegetables, oysters, &c.
Their corn Is Of n superior quality, and when
cooked Is equal In flavor 10 green corn. 4 pound,
which rc,ails for forty cents scqual to two dozen
ears. Thus the price for the preserved corn is ns
low MS the green corn In season and so II Is with
all 10th fruits and vegetables.
As We have said before, the establishment, OF
this industry In our midst Is a great benefit 10
the community. Besides furnishing home mar
kct for fruits and all kinds OF vegetables /, brings
considerable quantity of money TO the neigh
horhood they paying about $500 per week
hands s wages alone. Next year they expect to
operate ON larger scale, and vii. employ abou,
eighty hands. We were grntihcd 10 learn, and
We presume the whole community will lie also.
tina, these gcntlentn have realized this year their
most sangninc nn,icipn'ions
