Shall We Have Canning Factory?

We know of ne part of Wisconsin
where a canning factory would be
more likely to succeed than at Grand
Rapids. We have roilroad facilities
not equaled in any other city in Wis
consin. We have soils we'll adapted to
the growing of green peas, black
berries, Stra wberrieS. raSpberrieS,
blueberrieS, gOOSeberrieS, tomatoes,
pumpkins, string beans, lima beans
and green corn, all of which produce
abundant crops Of fine quality with US,
and all of which are extensively
canned. Occasionally too we have a
season when there is an oyer-Supply of
cranberrieS that could we'll be saved
by canning. There appears to be
good money in The canning business.
The demand for canned goods increaS-
es year by year. Then why not have
canning factory here? We see no
reason why, except that no one here
knows anything Of the business. E.
L. Powell, representing a Chicago
firm, that manufactures canning ma
chinery, has expressed himself as de-
sirOuS of taking up the question of es
tabliShing such a factory here, and
discussing it with farmers in this vi
entity. He hopes to be here soon. 1t
seems that it might be we'll for the
Business Mems Association to take
up this matter with Mr.. Powell and
others interested and see what can be
done toward obtaining such plant
for our city.
