DEAR FOLKS;

workers in the Wilson
& Co. plants in Gkicago and
in ten other -.ities are an
American loving group OF
citizens with a genuine re-
gard for American inStitu-
tions and customs.
A great many of these work
ers came to America from for
eign countries and found here
an opportunity to enjoy liberty
Of thought and action-to edu-
cate their childTen-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 Chicago plant alone saved
81. 100000 from the first of
Nav until the end of December,
1918. This means that every
worker averaged a saving of
S226 during this period-and
they are saving at the same
ratio during 1919.
Furthermore. these Wilson
workers throughout the coun-
Try are buying 100000 of
Victory Liberty Bonds.
Does this not represent sub
stantial citizenship?
Does it not also indicate that
Wilson & Co. are standing by
their workers in a helpful, prac-
teal way?
There is another angle about this
thing that / want to bring to your
attention.
The workers are engaged in produc-
ing 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, Wholesome,
Honest Food, bought and used care.
fully, is more sustaining, more
nourishing, more economical, 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.
They buy them at cost, plus the ex-
pense incurred IN maintaining a
sales force and setting apart space
for the purpose IN the main building,
which stands st the entrance to the
plant.
The workers are not allowed to run
bills or to buy extravagantly, They
are advised to buv only enough to
nourish life N 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 and
most economical way.
These suggestions come from the |
Domestic Science Department, at the |

she was eight years old-due TO the !
necessities of her household. Her |

workers how TO use good foods eco
nomically.
Isn't there a suggestion in this story
70 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 bear
ing this significant slogan The Will
son Label Protects Your Table"
That means what it says.
Workers see TO IL that everything sent
out represents integrity and quality.
Why not? Don't they know what IL
good? Don't they themselves eat |
what they produce? Would thev eat
what they produce II II weren't good? |
Would they eat the Wilson & Co. |
foods II they did not feel they got
