M. j. Woodland and William
Buchheit went to Sun Prairie Friday
for the purpose of inspecting the can
ming factory recently put in operation
there. Yesterday another delegation
OF citizens visited the plant. The
question of starting canning factory
here is again being agitated, the
parties who instituted the one at Sun
Prairie, and who also own several
others in the state, having written
officers of the Watertown Advance
ment association with view of secur-
ing local aid in the project. The
proposition is that Watertown furnish
two thirds of the required capital,
| the other third to be provided by the
projectors. The factory at Sun
Prairie is said to be working nicely
| and several of those who inspected it
look with favor upon starting a
similar enterprise here. 1t would
| give employment to a considerable
| force during part of the year and
would also provide inducements to
farmers to grow certain vegetables in
large quaint and with no little
profit.
