DEAR FOLKS:

& Co. plants in Chicago and
in ten other cities are an
American loving group of
citizens with a genuine re
gard for American institu-
tions and customs.
A great many of t h e 5 c
workers came to America
from foreign countries and
found here an opportunity
to enjoy liberty of thought
and actlon-tO G duCate
their children-to acquire
comfortable homes-and 10
live under conditions that
bring them happiness and
prosperity.
1t will a S onis h YOU to
learn. as it did me. that the
| workers in the 6 hicaeo
plant alone saved ST, 100000
from the first of>Nay until
the end of December. 1918.
This means that every
worker averaged a saving of
over S226 during this period
and they are saving at
! the same ratio during 1910.
Furthermore. these Wilson
workers throughout the
country are buying .000.-
1000 of Victory Liberty
| Bonds. 1...
Does this not represent sub
stantial 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 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.
IOuality 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 & Co. plant in
| Chicago.
They buy them at cost, plus the
expense incurred in maintaining a
sales force and setting apart space
| for the purpose in the main build
! ing, which stands at the entrance to
the plant.
The workers are not allowed to run
bills or to buy extravagantly. They
are advised to buy only enoaghzto
nourish life in wholesome, salts
factory. healthy manner-to fit titer,
j for their work. -
Furthermore. the Wilson & Co: plan
of service to their workers includes
definite and helpful suggestions-saS
to lrow they can use the foods ti1cv
produce in the most intelligent. and
most economical way. $50
These suggestions come from ~the
Domestic Science Department.. at-tile
head of which is a young weinan n
who started to learn to cook.W11cn
she was eight years old-due to the
necessities of her household. Her
father had died and she was the
eldest of several children. n.--He-
mother needed her help. ~
The mother-a wonderful woman

materials in cooking. telling he-:t}'~
