Oklahoma City Times-Journal: One
Wholesale house in this city has since the
canning season began, sold eight car loads
Of glass fruit jars. The other houses in
this city have not quite so big a record
in fruit Jars, but the total amount handled
by houses IN this city will not fall short

the home canning industry. Half the fruit
will be put up in tin cans. But that is

possession of the housewives before the
season commenced. as were purchased this
year. Oklahoma City did not. OF course

grand aggregate, Il this calculation Is ap-
proximately correct IS stupendous.
