One Of the local enterprises that
has steadily developed strength and |
in spite of the hard times |!
is the Brattleboro Jelly Co and il !
could do even twice the business it is .
now doing if it had: sufficient capital,
of which large amount is required (
for long periods each year. 1t is pro- !
posed therefore to form it into stock /
with 5000 paid in stock .
which would handle the Jelly and |
pickle business the Maple Sugar Ey
change and all the other branches. !
The company already has ample room
in its buildings on Flat street. The
of the stock has been placed
in the hands of Morse a. Edgett who
are prepared TO make a complete show
ing of the whole project and it is GER
tainly one that ought to attract capital.
The company has the reputation of
making the best pickles in the country
and Brattleboro and its surrounding
farming interests ought to get the full
benefit Of this reputation. AS one
feature alone the company has this
tear put down 40 tons of caulifiower.
