The directors Of the Weir Canning

elected as officers for the ensuing year
Lyman Emerson, president; w. HI.
hatcher, vice president; H. v. Harlan,
secretary and treasurer: w. H. Batch
err L. M. Youngman, II. V. Harlan
executive committee; H. v. Weir,
manager. The total pack for the year
was $4,000 cans of superior quality
of corn as is attested by the large con-
sumption of the Toledo brand of corn
in the community. The quality of the
goods speak we'll for Mr.. Weir's ability
and the directors are well pleased with
his management. Owing to the over
production this season the sale has
been somewhat limited but the super
Tor quality Of the goods is gradually
becoming known and sales are becom-
ing more frequent. The farmers are
well pleased with the growing Of sweet
corn, some realizing $40 to $25 and in
addition a fine quality and a
large quantity of rough feed
at this time of the year when greatly
needed. The Weir canning factory is
proving one of the best industries that
Toledo ever had.
