DEAR FOLKS:

- workers in the Wilson
g. Co. plants in Chicago and
in ten other cities are an
American loving group of
citizens with a genuine re-
gard for American institu-
tons and customs. 4s
A great many of t h c sc
workers came to America
from foreign countries and
found here an opportunity
to enjoy liberty Of thought
and action-to c d u c a tie
their children - to acquire
comfortable homes-and to
live under conditions that
bring them happiness and
prosperity.
It will astonish you to
learn, as it did me, that the
workers in the c h ic go,
plant alone saved 81 100000
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 saving at the
same ratio during 1919.
Furthermore, these Wilson
workers through out the
country are buying 81 ,000,-
900 ofVictory Liberty Bonds
Does this not represent sub
stantial citizenship
Does it not also indicate
that Wilson g. Co. are
standing by their workers
in a helpful, practical way9
There is another angle about
this thing that 1 want TO bring
to your attention.
The workers are engaged in pro-
ducing 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 sustain
ing, more nourishing. more eco-
nomical, than the buying and
using Of indifferent foods. NJ
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 g. Co. plant n
Chicago. \,
They buy them at cost, plus the
expense incurred in maintatf.,aig :
sales force and setting apart space
for the purpose in the main building
which stands at the entrance to the
plant.

their work. -
Furthermore. the Wilson 4 Co. PIN
of service TO their workers includes
definite and helpful suggestions a. %
how they can use the foods they pro-
duce in the most intelligent and mos
economical way. M
These suegestions come from the
Domestic Science Department, at the
head Of which is q young woman who
started TO learn to cook when she wns
eight years old-due 10 the necessities
of her household. Her father had died
and she was the eldest Of several chndren
Her mother needed her help. hI
The mother-a wonderful woman
taught her daughter to use the bcst
materials in cooking, telling her that
a little Of the very best went 50 much
farther than a whole lot OF stuff OF
poor quality.
Well. this little girl grew up TO be'a
wonderful cook She became fas-
cinated with this great art. She eds
Gated herself on profits realized from
teaching others how TO cook. she
studied the food question from evnfy
angle. She knows what is what. ~
She is wonderful help in the WI
son Co. organisation BY suggesting s
workers how 10 use good foods seonomeahb'
