The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-05-23

WHO WILL ESTABLISH IT?-The GOLD
LEAF has repeatedly urged the establish
mens of fruit ard vegetable canning fac
tory In Henderson. That such an enter
prise would I've profitable admits of no
question or doubt The expense of starting
acanneiy need not lie necessarily large at
hrst. AS an experiment it would be we'll
enough to commence on a small scale As
we see from the figures of an authority OH
the subject, the cost of an outfit for small
cannery is put down as follows: Twelve
horse power boiler 1920, open kettle ST,
extra kettle if needed So, exhaust box 81,
crane S13, air pumps Sc, oil tank 50. fire
pot $40, Gaping tools ss-total 1907. Such
an outfit will prove adequate to the can
ming OF peaches, pears, berries and all veg
etables except corn and peas. If these fig
ufes are correct. with ready market and
reasonable profit Oh the product, these fac
tories should be more generally established
over the State.

TIMELY AND TRUTHFUL.-lt Is extreme
~ unfortunate that communities should be
divided among themselves. In union there
is strength. and without union. harmony of
spirit and cooperative effort, there cannot
be that health and satisfactory condition of
things that every one should SO much de-
sire TO see. Citizens who have the welfare
of their town at heart, can't afford to muse
petty jealousies and prejudices. One side
should not he arrayed against the other.
Such policy is detrimental to the interests
of all. A town should he unit in every
enterprise calculated to advance the pub
lie interests. We are necessarily dependent
upon each other, and each in his legiti
mate sphere should do his duty toward tic
other. True, there are some selfish spir
its, who never appreciate anything pub
lie, unless it carries penny into their OWL
; pockets, but they are about rs useful ant
orna mental to ii town as a wart to a man:
, nose.

Henderson is rapidly becoming the trade
centre OF a large and profitable scope 0
, territory, and it behooves us to cultivat,
. this while We at the same time desire tt
draw more. Our warehousemen pay TIL
highest market prices for all grades Q
tobacco and it is brought here from ia
) and near On that account; and our mer
chants have ample reason to feel gra ii
fled with the results Of their efforts tt
dra" custom by reducing prices on good
TO such Il low figure as to actually over
come all competition. That they ar
, reaping the benefits of large and con
stantly increasing trade, is evidenced b.
the large number of vehicles coming il
from the country and going out loade'
with al! kinds of family supplies. TIL
, extremely low prices of dry goods. cloth
ing, groceries, etc, is what is bringin!
the trade here. The GOLD LEAF ha
labored industriously to impress the ad
vantages OF Henderson as both a selin;
+ and buying market upon the minds Q
e those whose trade we have a right t.
seek, and it is gratifying to know that i
has not been without good effect.
