TICKLE CO. TO
INCREASE OUTPUT
Learned Saturday That Local Firm
Is To Thoroughly Remodel Its
Plant and Employ In
creased Force.
MEANS BENEFIT TO CITY
viii Employ Fifty During Busy Sea-
son Which Extends For Period
of About Six Months and
Starts Early.

The keokuk Pickle company, branch
of the National Pickle and Canning
company of ST. Louis, Mo-, located at
First and Johnson streets, has decid-
ed to overhaul and renovate its plant
from top to bottom, materially in
crease the future output and employ a
force of fifty people, which is many
more than have been employed during
the past years of its existence. The
improvements will be made almost i'm
mediately and when completed will
mean something to Keokuk.
The company finds it impossible to
increase the floor space without build
ing upward, as it is hemmed in on all
sides. But the plant will be thorough
ly remodeled by tearing out some of
the interior walls. Possibly the main
reason for the company's move is that
it intends to install new and COM
plete catsup plant for the manufacture
or high grade of this commodity,
which has heretofore not been made
by the firm. The pickle output will
also be increased to meet the com
pany's increased demand in this sec
ton and in the south
The fact that fifty people will be
employed during the busy season,
which means from July l until along
in December, is of great interest local
ly. The company has never before
found need for more than about TWEEN
ty-five employees. Many girls are en-
