A company under the above name has
been organized to do general canning
business in the City of Stanton, Va. The
officers for the first year. are I. Witt, Esq,
president; H. Hutchinson. Esq. sec'y;
Messrs. |. Witt, H. Hutchinson, G. S.
Baker. G. G. Gooch, and w FL. Ell. Lynn,
directors. The president and directors
will make application to Judge McLaugh
lin for Incorporation. The company will
own real estate necessary to carry on their
business, and will give employment to a
large number of people during the canning
season,
Their object will be to begin with can
ming tomatoes; and for that purpose they
are prepared to contract with farmers to
supply the tomatoes this season. The
company will undertake to furnish either
the seeds or plants, and will contract with
each farmer for any number of acres he
can cultivate, agreeing to take his entire
crop. AS the company does not make it
point to get the very earliest crop. there
is time enough to plant the seed and
gather the crop in the latter part of the
summer. If. however, the plants can be
had they will be furnished.
1t is the purpose of the company, as
soon as the machinery can be purchased.
to can fruits and vegetables of all kinds
and we would advise our farmers and
gardeners to plant on as large scale as
possible, so as to give the new company a
| good start.
