PLANS Of COMPANY

Plans OF Company
The company is a canning 0rgani-
zation composed of retail grocers and
farmers. incorporated under the laws
of the State of Maryland.
A few OF the great number OF pur-
poses the company intends 10 accom-
plish are stated as follows:
1. To give the public a better
grade of goods for the same or less
money.
2. To stop the waste of farmers
produce by establishing an equality
between the farmers production and
the grocers demand The farmers
who supply the company will not be
confronted with the problem of dis
posing of excess production. AS ex-
cess production is an annual occur
renee with the farmer. he is often
forced to pillow under acres of his
crops. Many farmers are also handi-
capped by lack of facilities for plac-
ing their goods promptly on the mar
ket
3. 1t is the aim of the company to
establish direct connection between
the farmer and the factory, so that
his produce may be canned on the
same day it leaves the farm. In most
places this transfer cannot be eff
fected so promptly; but this company
is in command of facilities which in
sure immediate canning. This
promptness also assures the public of
fresh canned goods.
T. BY our farmer to factory TO
grocer plan. 1t can be seen that the
middle-man is eliminated, thereby
cutting out his profits. and enabling
the company to supply better goods at
lower price.
5. Getting his produce to the mar
ket and disposing OF it is problem to
most farmers. Long-distance hauling
taxes his time. and commission to his
selling agents consumes part of his
profits. This problem is very sue
cessfully dealt with by our plan The
factory will be located conveniently
to the, farms. and by taking his pro-
duce from him directly. the usual
selling commission is eliminated and
his valuable time saved
6. Our plans also embrace an i'm
portant point in reducing the cost of
the farmers production. Things
necessary to the farmer, such as fer
tilizer, seed, etc, wilr be purchased
in bulk lot by the company, which in
turn distributes II to the farmer at
factory cost.
z. The most modern sanitary con-
ditions will prevail in our new fac
tory, The white garments of the en-
ployees will be Numbered daily in our
own laundry. Public inspection is
invited.
