Vegetable and Fruit Oanneries.


In various parts of the state the PEG.
pie are clamorous for the esGa blishment
of canning factories. Experience has
clearly demonstrated that such factories
are profitable, in fact, we do not know
of single instance where factories have
been established and properly managed
that they have failed to prove remunera-
tive. The interests of Florida could Ger.
tainly be advanced by large investments
in canning factories. No state in the
union offers so many inducements for
investments in this line as Florida, and
no locality in the state is more in need
of a canning factory than Gainesville
that canning factory was not estab-
lished in this city years ago. Viewed
from every standpoint it would seem
that an enterprise inaugurated which
would lead to the building and operation
of a cannerY, could not prove otherwise
than successful. 1t is an industry
demanding the serious attention of the
business men and farmers and fruit
growers of this city and county. By
the failure to take advantage of oppor
tunities and establish canning factory,
many thousands of dollars are annually
lost by the business men and growers of
Gainesville and Alachua county. The
canned goods trade of this city is i'm
mense, the aggregate whole of which
runs away up into the thousands of
dollars. Every dollar sent abroad for
the purchase Of canned goods could be
and should be kept home. The policy
now being pursued is one of the great
est stun bling blocks in the way of
the advancement of the material in
terests of this city and county. The
more money kept at home the better it
will be for the interests of this COM
munity. The profits that should enure
to the benefit of the merchants and
growers of this locality are adding to the
riches Of those who are doing business
In New York, Baltimore, Boston and
other cities many hundreds of miles
distant. There is no substantial reason
why this should be SO. The condition
can easily be reversed by the establish
ment in this city of cannery on an
extensive scale, large enough to create
q home market for vast quantities of
the fruit and vegetables grown in this
locality. In the matter of the establish
ment and maintenance of a cannery,
the interests of the merchants and
other business men in this city are
mutual with those of the growers. We
are now giving to the business men of
other cities the money that should
remain at home and contribute to the
advancement of the various interests OF
the people of this city. By a little
display of enterprise and the invest
ment of small amount of capital, this
drain upon the resource of Gainesville
and Alachua county can be effectually
checked.-Gainesville Sun.

of knowing nothing OF what is going on
