DEAR FOLKS:

w iANNAA ~ W.
Chicago and in ten other
cities are an American
loving group of citizens
with a genuine regard for
American institutions and
! customs.
A great many of these
Workers came to America
from foreign countries
and found here an oppor-
tunity to enjoy liberty of
! thought and action - to
| educate their children
/ to acquire comfortable
/ homes-and to live under
! conditions that bri n &
| them happiness and pros
perity.
Vt will astonish you to
! earn, as it did me, that
workers in the Chi
eago plant alone saved
S1,700,000 from the first
of May until the end of
/ December, 1918. This
h means that every worker
averaged a saving of over
| $226 during this period,
and they are saving at
the same ratio during
1919.
.urthermore, these Will
son workers throughout
the country are buying
Isl, 900, 900 Of Victory Lib
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.
{he workers are engaged in
foducing Pure Foods. They,
by the foods they produce
- use in their own homes
hey have learned how to
Use these foods in an eco
n0mical way.
They know that Good. Whole
some, Honest Food. bought
and used carefully, is more
sustaining, more nourishing.
more economical. than the
buying and using of indiffer-
ent foods.
Quality in food counts for far
more than Quantity.
Workers are enabled to buy
the foods they produce at the
retail stores maintained in
connection with the Wilson e.
Co. plant in Chicago.
They buy them al cost. plus
the expense incurred in maintaining
. sales force and setting apart
space for the purpose in the main
I building. which stands at the en-
trance to the plant
y The workers are not allowed 20
run bills or TO buy exfravaxantly.
hey are advised TO buy only
ough to nourish life in a whole.
Sane. satisfactory. healthy manner
Ito ut them for their work.
\ Furthermore. the Wilson & Co. plan
Of service 10 their workers includes
definite and helpful suggestions as
TO how they can use the foods they
produce In the most intelligent and
most economical way.
These suggestions come from the
Domestic Science Department. at
the head Of which Ia young
woman who started in TO learn to
cook when she was eight years
oId-due to the necessities OF her
s household. Her father had died
and she was the eldest Of several
children. Her mother needed her
helr.
The mother-a wonderful woman
taught her daughter TO use the best
materials in cooking. telling her that
little Of the very best went 30
much farther than a whole lot of
stuff Of poor quality.
Well. this little girl grew up to be
wonderful cook. She became faa.
cinated with this great art She
educated herself on profits realized
from teaching others how to cook.
She studied the food question from
every angie. She knows what Is
what.
She Is wonderful help in the WI.
n son A. Co. organization by suqgeat-
Ing TO workers how to use good
Goods economically.
