A SURE SIGN OF MERIT.

The average Brunswickian does not
know it, but the Aiken Canning com
psny has sold LARGE amount of oysters
TO the packing houses OF Baltimore, and
these firms put their own labels on the
cans TO supply their trade.
This lie certainly sign Of merit, an d
If the goods had Iot been up to the
standard. the Northern concerns would
certainly not have sold them as their
own manufacture.
We hope the day will soon come when
the truck farmers OF this vioinit, will
raise enough vegetables to supply a
canning factory, and we confidently
expect this time is not far distant.
If an oyster factory will pay, why
shouldn't plant for the canning of
fruits and vegetables fare equally as
well?
