The Ocmler Canning Factory Turn
ing Them Out 5000 Cans IL Day.
The oemler Canning Factory on WI
mington Island is turning out 5000 cans of
vegetables a day. There are few people in
Savannah who know more about the can
ming industry in Savannah than that such
an industry exists here. The oemler fac
tory, which succeeded the Oemler Oyster
Company, is the largest canning factory in
this section. 1t employs at present 50 hands
in the fields and in the factory.
The factory is now putting up tomatoes
okra and beans. Mr.. Oemler has about GO
acres of land planted in tomatoes. about
8 acres in beans and about acres in ol5ra.
The yield Of tomatoes is between goa ana
oCO bushels to the acre making a total
yield or $1,000 bushels. The okra crop is
continuous from the time it begins nntil
iIoSt. The bean crop is now in its prime
The industry is in itself an interesting one
BESIDES the farm owned by Mr.. Oemler
the factory furnishes a market for the
truck grown by the small farmers. on the
island. All of the product of the factory is
grown on the island. The majority of the
employees own small patches of land which
are painted IN truck and these supply the
factory with vegetables. About one-half
of the employees are women and children
The factory hands earn from 10 cents to q
a day. some OF the skilled hands. the cap
pers and professors. who work by the
piece, earn much larger wages, some of
them as high as 81 and s. a day.
The factory markets the great part Of
its canned product in New York. althouph
large quantity of canned goods is scnf
west, principally to Chicago. The success
of the Oemler factory demons rates that
the canning industry can be successfplIv
carried on here, the Oenler factory havins
of course, the precedent of experience ans
