WOfKerS III the w llSOn & Go. 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 these work | CTS came to America from| foreign countries and found| here an opportunity to enjoy| liberty of thought and action to educate their children ito a c q uir e 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 work. CTS in the Chicago plant alone saved $1, 100000 from the first of May until thel end of December, 1918. Thisa means that every workel1 averaged a saving of over $226 during this period and they are saving at the same ratio. during 1919.
 Furthermore, these Wilson W or k e ITS throughout the country are buying $1, ,0OO, 900 of Vie tory Liberty Bonds.
 Does this not represent sub- stantial citizenship? Does it not also indicate that Wilson & Go. are standing by their workers in a help. ful, practical way?I
 There is another angle abou; this thing that I want to brine to your attention. The workers are engaged i; producing Pure Foods. They buy the foods they produce fol 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.
 Quality in food counts for far more than Quantity. Workers are enabled to buy the foods they produce at the re. tail stores maintained in con- nection with the Wilson 6 Go. 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 building. 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. enough to nourlsh life in wholesome, satisfac- tory, healthy manner-to fit them for their work.
 Furthermore, the Wilson 6 Go. plan of service to their workers includes definite and helpful suggestions as toe 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 is young woman who started to learn to cook when she was eight years old-dne the neces- sities of her household. Her father had died and she was the eldest of several children Her mother needed her help.
 The mother-a wonderful, wcman- taught her daughter to use the best materials in cooking, telling her that little of the very best went.so.much farther than a whole lot of stuff of poor quality.
 We'll, this little girl grew up to be wonderful cook. She became fas- cinated with this great art She ~edu- cated herself on profits. realized from teaching others how to cook She studied the food question from.cUery angle. She knows what isswhat. She is a wonderful help in the Wil- son & Co. organization by suggesting to workers how to use good foods econom- ically-
 Isn't there a suggestion in thfs story-to you, Dear Folks?
