The canning factory closed Tuesday
evening after five weeks steady run.
The pack is 100000 cans of excellent
corn, and is the largest amount the
company has ever put up. 1t has been
an extremely busy time and the fac
tory was put to its utmost capacity
With the new machinery this year a
better record was made than any other
two line factory in the country. Sew
eral days they turned out 100000 cans
while the vinton companies with four
lines turned out only 10000 a day, the
best record they made. There has been
lots of money distributed here while
the factory has been running. The
farmers, too, have made good profits
from the corn One farmer. James

better profits from their corn.
