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.
tons and customs.
A great many of t h e Sc
workers came to America
from foreign countries and
found here an opportunity
to enjoy liberty of thought
and action-to educate Their
chlldren-to acquire com.
Portable homes-and to live
under conditions that bring
them happiness and pros.
perity.
1t will astonish you to learn,
as it did me, that the work.
ers in the Chicago plant
I-alone saved ST 100000 from
the first of May until the
end of December, 1918.
This means that every
worker averaged a saving OF
over $22o during this period
and they are saving at the
same ratio during 1919.
Furthermore, these Wilson
w or k ers throughout the
country are buying ST ,O00,-
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 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 Tor
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 retail
stores maintained in connection
with the Wilson & Co. plant in
Chicago.
i 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
nourish life in q wholesome, salts
factory, healthy 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 ard
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-due to the
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 bc a
wonderful cook. She became ias-
cinatcd with this great art. She cUu-
Gated herself on profits realized from
teaching others how to cook. She
studied the food question from
every angle. She knows what is
what.
She is a wonderful help in the Will
son & Co. organization by suggesting
| to workers how to use good foods
| economically.
Isn't there a suggestion in this story
| to you, Dear Folks?
Shouldn't you buy only those foods
whose quality you are sure of?
Mind you, Wilson & Co. send their
! food products all over the world
| bearing this significant slogan The
| Wilson Label Protects Your Table"
| That means what it says.
