The following particulars, taken from
"a reliable source, will be read with at
tentlon by those interested in the Rugby
canning project;
''One of the most prosperous and
thriving of all the new industries of this
country is the canning Of fruits and
vegetables. The figures given in re-
cent census bulletin show how fast this
important industry has grown within
the past decade. In 1870 there were
81 persons and firms engaged in the
business; in 1880 the number had in
creased to 5ll. The value of the
products of these establishments has
increased from 100000 in 1870 to
$l7&oa 900, ,ii.,-AssG. Ivory yoas
shows a considerable increase in the
number of articles to which the canning
process is made applicable. Nearly
every sort of fruit, vegetable, meat and
fish are now the subjects of the canning
method of preservation"
