HOME PRODUCTS EXPOSITION
This feature of the triangular pro
gram which was enjoyed by so man,
of the residents of this city, tht
Lower Payette Valley and the Deat
Ok Flat country last week, was real!
long step in advance of anything
that has been heretofore attempted
in the way of getting together ant
taking stock of the various kinds of
products that are manufactured BY
our own people and our home insti
tutions. 1t was a revelation to many
who visited the council chamber and
saw for the first time, assembled in
attractive style, so large an exhibi-
tion of this particular branch Of local
endeavor.
1t was an object lesson that can
not fail to be of very great benefit
to the community, because it will
Snot only encourage those who are
engaged in the various lines of manu-
featuring, to have had so many Of
their fellow-citizens examine their
products and offer words of praise,
but it will stimulate a greater pub
lie interest in these enterprises and
will ultimately crystalize community
sentiment in favor of the home
manufactured product and home in
stitutions-something to be desired
above ali else-if we are TO have
permanent prosperity.
THE PAYETTE MILLS.
This institution, under the new
management of Mr.. E. o. Yeates, a
thorough and practical mill man, as
we'll as a wide-awake citizen, made a
very attractive display of its various
popular brands of flour and other
mill products, where ladies were
kept busy each day demonstrating
the superiority of Payette flour, by
serving an endless throng of visitors
with light lunch consisting of
wholesome home-baked bread and
other samples of the finished pro-
ducts of The Payette Mills, an insti-
tuition which is somewhat in advance
of the community, as is shown by
it's ability to furnish flour enough to-
feed daily city of $4,000 people,
figured ON the basis of the United
States average consumption.
THE ELECTRIC INVESTMENT CO.
This Institution had creditable
exhibit of the very latest designs of
electrical appliances. OF course these
were not home products, but the
Electric Companys local representa-
tives were simply seeking to create
a wider interest in the great busi-
ness it represents by practical demon
strations of the various beneficial
S6rposes for which these appliances
may be used.
THE IDAHO CANNING COMPANY.
The exhibit of canned goods made
by this institution was one that add
ed immensely to the Home Products
exposition, showing as it did, a
large and attractively arranged dis
play of the various brands of goods
turned out by the company, an in
stitution which for a number of years
has made the name of Payette known
to thousands of people throughout the
country, by the quality of goods it
has been placing upon the market.
The plant of the Idaho Canning
Company is one of the really big
concerns of the community. The in
stitution has behind 1t the energy
and financial resources Of a number
OF the most solid men of the city.
1t distributes In exchange for the
products of the farms and orchards
Of this section many thousands of
dollars, pays out for home labor
many more thousands and sells to
the wholesale merchants and dfstribu-
ting jobbers of the northwest about
fifty carloads Of canned goods an
nually.
During the three days Of the ex-
position the booth of The Idaho Can
ming Company served what appear
ed to be an endless throng Of people
