DEAR FOLKS:

-h'A S'it fOt w III VIC III
terested in know ing
that workers in the
Wilson & Co., plants in
Chicago and ten OF h er
cities are an American
loving group of citizens
with a genuine regard for
American institutions and
customs.
A great many Of tn @ sc
workers came to America
from foreign countries
and found here an oppor-
tunity to enjoy liberty of
thought and action-to ed
ucate their children-to
acquire com fortab | G
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 Chi
cago plant saved 81 100000
from the first of May un-
til the end Of December,
1918. This means tn at
every worker averaged a
saving Of over 1926 during
this period-and they are
saving at the same ratio
during 1919. Furthermore
these w ilson workers
throughout the country
are buying 81 100000 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
for use In their own homes.
They have learned how to use
these foods In an economical
way.
They know that good, whole
some, honest food, bought and
used carefully, is more sus-
tanning, more nourishinR,
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 a. Co. plant In Chi
cago.
They buy them at cost. plus tho
expense incurred In maintaining a
sales force and setting apart space
for tho purpose In tho main building,
which stands at tho entrance TO the
plant,
The workers are not allowed 10 run
bills or to buy extravsgantly. They
arc advised TO buy only enough to
nourish life In n wholesome. salts,
factory. healthy manner--to fit
them for their work.
Furthermore. tho Wilson g. Co. plah
OF service 10 their workers includes
definite and helpful suggestions as
to how they can use the foods they
product IN the most intelligent and
m ost economical way.
These suggestions come from the
Domestic Science Department. at the
head OF which Ia a. young woman
who started t9 learn 10 cook when
she was years old--due to tho
necessities OF the household. Her
