Faith is not works but ones faith
Is usually proven by his works,
whether that faith be in the realm OF
religion, the industries or business
The man or group of men who are
willing to invest heavily of their cap.
,tal in business enterprise in their
own city, as rule have faith in the fu-
ture of that city and surrounding coun-
try.
The Inlands Products company of
snokane is an outstanding example of
faith in the future of the Inland EN-
nire. for they are completing extern
sive engagements of their manufac-
mring plant at Spokane this year
which represent an investment of more
than half a million dollars. A most
significant feature of their business is
the fact they they do not go to the
East or to foreign countries for the
raw material from which to manufac-
ture their products, but it must come
from the soil of the Inland Empire. So
great is their confidence in the future
of the Inland Empire and in Spokane
as the metropolis of that district that
their plant is built on such scale as
to turn out hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of manufactured prod
ucts each year.
A trip through this company's plant,
which occupies a whole block at the
corner of Second avenue and Cedar
street. would be a revelation to the
average person, for it is not one fac
tory but a group of ten or dozen
factories, each of which would make
a fairly good-sized business by itself
From this plant are turned out soft
drinks, ice cream, butter, cheese, cider,
vinegar, pickles, condiments, chill,
baked beans, canned and preserved
fruits jams, jellies, candies and sauer
kraut, to say nothing of the produc-
ton capacity of 40 tons of ice per
day, and cold storage room for $50
carloads of apples-more cold stor
age room, by the way, than all other
cold storage houses in the city of Spo-
kane combined
If you should start to go through
this plant and should walk at a good
pace, stopping only long enough in
each department to have it very
briefly explained to you, it would take
you two full hours to make the trip |
The Inland Products is not new

was converted into cider and vinegar.
