Brooklin Packing Comnanv

One of Hancock countys fourishing
industries is the sardine packing bust
ness, and the largest Of these factories is
that of the Brooklin Packing Co., S. G..
Stevens, president and manager, at Brook
lin, whose business has been built up by
the merit of its goods
The following fattering paragraph from
the Lubec Herald coming as it does from
what might be termed the centre of the
sardine canning industry of Maine, has
an especial value.
AT no time in its history has the Brook
lin Packing Co. turned out as many
cases of sardines in SO short a time as
since the opening of the season on May
10. The high quality of their goods is
being recognized by he wholesale grocery
and canned goods trade throughout the
country, and they have built up a large
business In export trade as Well. They
do not compete with the cheap grade Of
canned goods. All their sardines are
fried by the improved French method,
and the quality OF the oil used is the best
to be had.

Very many inquiries having been
received regarding the prospects for
fall trade, the stocks of goods carried
by traders, and the promise of crops,
the mercantile agency of r, G. Dun <
Co, Of New York, addressed circulars
to correspondents for definite infor-
nation from their different localities
on these points. A comparison of
all the information received in reply
indicates that caution and conserva-
tism in purchases, which universally
prevail, will quite commonly check
buying of large stocks even where
prospects are best, and that in more
than half the country the situation is
not as yet such as to warrant expec-
tation of an unusual demand for goods.
Almost everybody looks for some
gain, especially after political uncer-
tainties have been removed. but few
expect it to be more than moderate.
