DEAR FOLKS;

! Co. plants in Chicago and in
ten other cities are an Ameri-
can loving group of citizens
with a genuine e g ar d for
American institutions nd
customs.
A great many of these works
iers came to America fron1
foreign countries and found
here an opportunity to en-
Joy liberty of thought and
laction-to educate their chill
Idren-to acquire comfortable
homes-and to live under
conditions that bring them
happiness and prosperity.
1t will astonish you to learn,
as it did me, that the work
ers in the c hica e o plant
alone saved 81, 100000 from
the first of May until the end
of D e c e m b e r, 1913. This
means that every worker av-
eraged a saving of over 1926
during this p eric d,-a n d
they are saving at the same
ratio during 1919.
Furthermore, these Wilson
workers t h u 6 h 0 u t the |
country are buying ST., 900, Il
600 o f Vic tory Liberty
Bonds.
Does this not represent substan-
tial citizenship?
Does it not also indicate that /
Wilson & Co. are standing by
their workers in a helpful, prac-
tical way.
There is another angle about
this thing that / want to bring
to your attention.
The workers lare 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. wholesome,
Honest Food, bought and used care
fully. is more sustaining, more nour-
ishing. ore econoical. than the buying
and using of different foods.
Quality in food counts for far more
than Quantity.
Workers are enabled to buy the foods
they produce at the retail stores main
tanned in connection with the Wilson
Geo. 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
ire advised to buy only enough to
flourish life in a wholesome. satisfac-
DRY. healthy manner-to fit them for
heir work.
If service to their workers includes
definite and helpful suggestions as
o how they can use the foods they
produce in the most intelligent AMI
most economical way.
These suggestions come from the Do
nestle Science Department, at the
read of which is a young woman who
tarted to learn to cook when she was
light years old-due to the necessities
4 her household. Her father diaI and
he was the eldest of several children.
