The Canning Season

At this time everything points to a
bountiful yield of all kinds of fruits and
vegetables in this section. The canning
factories all over the country are running
at their full capacity. but strange to say
are asking more for their products this
year than they did last They give as
their reason the advance in the price of
tin. 1t strikes US that our people would
do well to do as much hone canning as
possible, using glass jars. We bought
our glass jars last tall just before the adj
vance, and we are in position to offer you
special prices on pints, quarts or half
gallons. We would name the prices
here, but prefer to tell you personally.
