VIII Peal Tomatoes

SEAFoRD, June 8. Local Gamers are
very much interested in a machine for
peeling tomatoes, which, if successful,
will do away with the employment of a
large number of men, women and chill
dren. Such a machine would obviate
anxiety Gamers suffer when factories
are full Of perishable goods and the la
borers are off attending picnic, circus
or some other amusement In the past
years the local Gamers have been at
their wits ends at time to knew just
what to do when a large quantity of
ripe fruit was dumped in the yards and
the employees stopped work to attend a
circus.
The new machine is not perfect yet,
but few Of them win be in operation
this summer. It's capacity now is about
so tomatoes per minute, with two girls
feeding it. The tomato is not touched
by hand being peeled and the waste is
much less than by hand peeling.
