The Marshall Vinegar Company. of
this city, is preparing to establish sew
eral new sailing stations for the COM
pany season, and has made propo-
stions to several towns In central Iowa.
The people at Chelsea, where's one of
the new sailing plants Is proposed, are
receiving the plans favorably. The cur
rent issue of the Independent, of that
place. says in reference to the venture:
THE establishing of the cucumber
sailing plant, which the Marshall
Vinegar Company contemplates putting
in a building about 40x60 feet, means
the employment of from four to six
Chelsea laborers during the season and
the distribution in the community of
from $500 to $4,000 of outside money
every year We are not asked to put
up any bonus or to do anything but
assist the vinegar company to secure
contracts among our people which viii
assure them that 100 acres of cucum-
bers will be planted and the yield de-
livered to them at Chelsea, for which
they agree to pay cent per pound, so
cents for bushel of fifty pounds 1t is
no harder to raise cucumbers than po-
tatoes. A cucumber Will grow any
