A GREET INDUSTRY.


Caroline County, Md, AS II Locntloh LOT

Special Correspondence Gazette and journal.
GREgNspoRouGH Mp, June 22.-The
canning industry of Caroline county not
only exceeds any other enterprise thus laF
undertaken here, but eScels any under
taking of the kind found in adjoining
counties Many thousands of dollars are
invested in this industry. Tomatoes anu
peaches constitute the principal output oil
the packing-huuses, and as these crops
come on nearly simultaneously II neceSsi-
tates the employment OF large nunlDer
OF hands throughout the county, by winch
the wheels of trade receive new impetus
and revolve with ever increasing rapidity,
The pea crop is no insignificant one ana
especially at treensborOugh, Denton ana
Marydel does II receive great attention by
packers. Berries of various kinds are
canned in some sections OF the county, Dut
to no great extent
The beginning Of the canning industry
in Caroline was in 1871, at Brdgetown, by
Il firm from Baltimore, Crete X GROCER, IN
a saw mill, owned by the late John NJ.
Cannon of this county. GreensborOugh
was enlivened in 1872 by the erection of u
packing house in its limits, the output OF
| which was $1,000 cans per annum. II Is
| still i'll operation, and with increased faclli-
/ ties has exceeded ibb,IiO cans per year
| Gretnsborough in 1852 had four establish
| ments of this kind, but one was moved to
| Goldsborough where it has started upon
| an increased scale,
The combined capacity of the establish
ments at Greensburough has reached the
| 2,UOOOOO can per year mark, netting for
| the crop nearly S32500U. The capital in.
vested in stock, plant and all necessary at
tachments, required to thorOughly conduct
| the business will. when put AT fair
estimate reach from 5000 to $4,000 each.
As to the amount invested i'll tin and cans,
cases, fruit, solder, &C., it would be hard
to form fair estimate
The number of canneres III the county
exceeds 20, and every year new establish
mcnts spring up, adding to the magnitude
of the already large industry, Many needy
persons lind employment in the canning
houses, that could not obtain work else
where. As high as 50 Car loads of fruit in
one year have been shipped from single
canncfy.
The amount of canned goods sold in one
year yields over Sl,O0OOO0. THIS years
crop will amount to over .6.OWOOO cans in
the county. which exceeds any previous
years outpGt. tircensboruugh leads in thc
