}. M. Stowe, representing the Amer
lean Picking Company, of Minneapo-
lis, also a member OF the firm, is in
town looking over the grounds with
view OF putting in plant at this point.
The company manufacture all kinds of
pickles and sauces, chow chow, mus
tards, horse radish preparations, sour
kroutA catsup and chili-sauce In the
event of factory at this place, ready
market would be established for al
most all lines of garden vegetables.
Tomatoes, cabbage, onions, caulifow-
ers and cucumbers would be among the
leading productions needed, yet in the
manufacture of the different classes of
goods, they would use many other veg
etable productions. Their plan of
operation is an easy one, and must
readily commend itself to every one
who desires to see new Industries built
up here. Mr.. Stowe proposes to or
ganize a stock company with leading
and responsible citizens las the stock
holders, and through the selection of
officers, have the matter controlled at
home. A purchaser of stock will take
a hundred-dollar share and pay the
share in this way: $40 to treasurer at
time of organization; $40 in sixty days.
$40 sixty days after second payment,
and the balance, $40, if a farmer, in
produce during the year. With this
plan, every man has an interest in the
welfare of the company-and has a
voice annually, in the election of
officers to manipulate affairs The ex-
pense attendant for the erection of the
factory, putting in machinery, every
thing all ready for operation, will not
exceed $4,000. Beyond the great adj
vantage accruing from the establish
ment of a pickle factory, is another
point to be considered and that is a
cooper shop, or barrel factory. Be-
tween the making of the barrels and
the purchase of the same, in a country
with timber adapted as here found,
there is a saving of nearly one-half,
hence cooper shop is sure to follow
and another industry gained. To carry
on pickle industry, and put out the
annual product, several thousand bar
rels will be needed. A fuller detail
cannot be given this week, but farmers
and all others interested can see Mr..
Stowe at the Office of Chas. Keith
where further information will be
given. A. meeting will be
held at the village hall on Jan. 10th, at
1870 o'clock. Farmers and all are COR
daily invited to attend and hear the
matter fully discussed.
The rumor is current that Foley
Bros. and Guthrie have bought the
mill property in Milaca. The deal
was closed the latter part of the pre-
cedlng week. Mr.. H. Webster, in the
employ of the above named firm, was
in Milaca, Friday, on his way up river,
to purchase logs for the seasons saw
ing The people of Milaca are to he
congratulated. Business must be
transacted when Foley Bros. are in
terested, and scores of men will find
work in Milaca the coming spring and
summer.
