DEAR FOLKS:

are an American loving
|group Of citizens with a
|genuine regard for Amer
lean institutions and GUS
toms.
A great many Of these
workers came to America
from foreign countries and
found here an opportunity
to enjoy liberty of thought
and action - to educate
! their children-to acquire
comfortable homes-and to
live under conditions that
bring them happiness and
prosperity.
1t will astonish you to
learn. as it did me, that the
workers in the Chicago
plant alone saved 81, 700, 900
from the first Of May until
the end Of December, 1918.
This means that every
worker averaged a saving
Of over $226 during this
period-and they are say.
ing at the same ratio dur
ing 1919.
Furthermore, these Wilson
workers throughout t h e
country are buying l,0W,-
GOO of Victory Liberty
Bonds.
Does this not represent
substantial citizenship?
Does it not also indicate
that Wilson & Co. are
standing by their workers
in a helpful, practical way?
There is another angle about
this thing that ! want to bring
to your attention.
The workers are engaged in
producing Pure Foods. They
buy the foods they produce fol
use in their own homes.
They have learned how to us,
these foods in an economical
way.
They know that Good. Whole
some, Honest Food, bought ant
] used carefully, is more sustain
4 ing, more nourishing, NOR,
economical, than the buyini
and using of Indifferent foods
Quality in food counts for fal
more than Quantity.
Workers are enabled to buy
foods they produce at the re-
tail stores maintained in con-
nection with the Wilson & Co.
plant in Chicago.
They buy them at cost, plus the ex-
pense incurred in maintaining a sales
force and setting apart space for the
purpose in the main building. which
stands at the entrance 10 the plant.
The workers are not allowed to run
bills or to buy cxtrsSagantIy. They
are advised TO buy only enough TO
nourish life in a wholesome, salts
factory, healthy manner-to fit them
for their work
| Furthermore, the Wilson & Co. plan
OF service TO their workers includes
definite and helpful suggestions as 70
how they can use the foods they pro-
duoe in the most intelligent and mos,
economical way.
These suggestions come from the
Domestic Science Department, at the
head Of which Is young woman who
started to learn to cook when she was
eight years old--due TO the necessi-
ties Of her household. Her father

The mother--a wonderful woman -.
taught her daughter to use the bes,
materials in cooking. telling her that

farther than a whole lot OF stuff Of
