o. 5. PAPER CAN 60,

Philadelphia. Pa.
Il am familiar with the products of
the American Paper Co Company of
your city and am so impressed with
their proposition that I have secured
the manufacturing rights of a num-
Der of counties in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania. including Philadelphia and the
southern half of New Jersey.
Il have organized the Sanitary One
Service Paper Can Company sos
Paper Can Company and expect to
begin the manufacture of the several
products covered by the American Pa
per Can COmpanv Patents at an early
date.
Our efforts to find market for the
products have been so successful that
extra units of machinery will be or
dered at once
The writer has been in close touch
with paper bottles and paper contain
ers for nearly ten years. therefore is
in position To know what the public
demands. Under prevailing systems OF
manufacturing paper bottles and con-
tanners high grade paper product is
required. while the gross output of
machines is limited: this condition in
creases manufacturing costs and
makes the selling price excessive. The
American Paper Can COmpanys sys-
TEN reverses the above conditions the
cost OF raw products is cut in two
while the automatic machinery will
produce from two TO three times tine
quantity in the same space OF time
with the result that the selling price
is within the reach of dairymen. pack
ers. grocers, milkmen. druggists and
all persons DESTROYS of packing liquid
food and other products in sanitary
One-service can.
ut is my opinion that the American
Paper Can Company has perfected a
system for the sanitary packaging and
handling of food products. which is
destined to be universally adopted in
every section OF the country.
Yours very truly,
wv. J. HAERTHER, President"

that in my experience of four or five
years in the use of the liquid paper con-

better sanitation, convenience of pack

The paper can as single service con-

dry foodstuffs and numerous other COM
modites. is one of the articles which have
fields of their own. The question is being
taken up by boards of trade. chambers of

article in their communities. and are seek
ing factories for their localities for the
manufacture of the containers for their
packers and retailers of all kinds of ma

Thus the American Paper Can Company
is meeting with astounding progress and
building up vast and highly profitable

Dealers Desire Them.
Customers Prefer Them.

The paper can is an attractive and con-
venient package and delights the house
wife receiving foodstuffs delivered in
them. II is not necessary to wash or re
turn them. as is necessary with most
paCkaG cS. but when used these are thrown
away. Besides preferrinG them for their
convenience the consumer is gratfied be-
cause OF their sanitary qualities
In this day when throughout the length
and breadth of the country. agitation of
the boards of health in rela to the
sanitary supply is under constant discus
sion, and an almost daily subject of
municipal. State. and national legislat ton.
no up-tO-thc minute dealer should be
without paper cans. Progressive dealers
will recognize Immediately their own adj
vantage in serving foodstuffs to patrons
in Packages so readily recognized by all
as far superior to the practices of days
gone by.
As these receptacles are reasonable in
price. and convenient to use they are
economical in both price and time. Be
cause of their economy, and of the
further fact that they are waterproof,
air-tight. clean, and attractive, they
are used for ground and powdered pro-
ducts by grOcers. butchers, oyster and
fish dealers, ice-Cream. butter, cheese
dairy and fruit men. etc.

Word reached Bisbee yesterday that
the extensive mines and plants OF the

demands made upon them by the men.
During the past week according to
information reaching the District, or
ganizers have been at work in that
neighborhood and several meet
ings were held. Undoubtedly the men
were organized in some shape and
made demands which were promptly
refused by the companies
