DEHR FOLKS:

$500 SNh> Y VNAAe ~ -
terested in learning that
- workers in the Wilson
& 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.
A great many of these .
workers came to America
from foreign countries and
found here an opportunity
to enjoy liberty of thought
| and action - to educate
their children-to acquire /.
comfortable homes-and to Z,
live under conditions that .
bring them happiness and !
prosperity. .
1t will astonish you to y
learn, as it did me, that the Il
workers in the Chicago
plant alone saved ST., 700, 900
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 saw Z.
ing at the same ratio during
1919.
Furthermore, these Wilson
workers throughout t h c
country are buying ST., ooo,-
900 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 way3
There is another angle about .
this thing that I 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 sustain
ing, more nourishing, moro
economical, than the buying (,
and using of indifferent foods. p!
Quality in food counts for far
more than Quantity.
Workers are enabled TO buy
the foods they produce at tho
retail stores maintained in con-
nection 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 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 10
nourish life in a wholesome, salts
factory, healty manner-to fit them
for their work.
Furthermore, the Wilson & Co. plan
of service to 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, 1t
the head of which is young woman
who started to learn to cook when
she was eight years old-due to tho
necessities of her household. Her
father had died and she was the
eldest of several children. Her
mother needed her help.
The mother-a wonderful woman
taught her daughter to use the best
materials in cooking, telling her
that a little of the very best went
so much farther than a whole lot of
stuff of poor quality.
Well, this little girl grew up to be
wonderful cook. She became fas-
cinated with this great art. She edu-
Gated herself on profits realized
from teaching others how to cook.
She studied the food question from
every angle. She knows what Is
what.
