cease to function. We would perhaps
, be out of job, yes / will say We
. would. That is subject for seri
Gus thought is it not?
In this light consider Just what il
would mean if you could not get any
of the following local Products by
walking up and laying down the
price. Flour, or a pan cake for
breakfast, a concrete tile, a sack OF
Alfalfa meal, or jug of vinegar,
brick for a chimney or house, a
pound of butter or a dish of ice
4 cream, or the spray to eliminate the
bugs from the fruit trees, or per-
haps a can of corn, peas or fruit, or
a few dried apples or prunes, and
when it gets hot a cake of ice at
your back door and suppose last but
not east you could not get a collar
/ washed or a clean sheet. Draw a
picture in your mind Just what kind
of community you would be in, fine
prospect, yes.
! We are all prone to accept things
as they come and not give a thought
/ to the man behind the gun, the man
who perhaps is struggling to place a
worthy product where it belongs and
make place for men and women to
work and live happily.
! In review following it has not been
the object of the writer to stick to
figures too closely but perhaps place
a flower on the living, the man who
I is helping to make this one of the
/ best places to live in which the Gre
atOr in his wisdom made. Make a
VOW to your self that you will keep
the local products inzmind and when
you buy ask for the kind which you
know is made at home. il will be
good, if it is not give the man who
made it chance to make it so, you
will probably know him.
IDAHO CANNING co.
This firm which has been in busi-
ness in Payette for a number of
years is another strictly local indus
I try owned by local investors. A va
riety OF canned fruits and vegetables
.aTe the products which have been
marketed under the brands of 'Sev-
en- Devils" and Maid in Idaho" all
of which have been of the highest
quality. During the late war and
some time after 1t the manager Cen
erai L. V. Patch relinquished the
management to others but for the
year 1922 the General is again at
the wheel and the cannery will have
a capacity run on corn and peas.
Just to show their appreciation for
this industry and its Management
the growers this year signed up all
the acreage required for 1922 with
ont any solicitation. During the
canning season the plant furnishes
employment to a large number of
women and girls and for a few men.
Look for their brands when you
want a can of corn, peas and many
fruits. We suspect that a good year
Or two and the old buildings will
give place to beautiful modern
building.
THE PAYETTE MILLS.
This is one of the older industries
and perhaps one of the most import
ant in the Payette Valley. The com
oine flour mill and feed mill repre-
sent substantial investment which
early last year was taken over by
local people and Mr.. ]. H. Davis an
eastern Idaho product was secured
as manager. Since that time the
fame of Sunshine" flour has spread
rapidly for Jim" can tell 'em, about
it. Even in the wilds of Oregon
where there are no railroads and few
of any kind Sunshine Flour" signs
can be seen on the mountain tons
and various other places.
Besides the justly famous "Sun-
shine Flour" the Mills are now put
ting up under the same brandPan-
cake Flour of the self-raisingvarie-
ty, Germ Meal which is the same as
some of the Nationally advertised
breakfast foods, Graham Flour.
Whole Wheat Flour and Corn meal.
all OF these products are superior
articles and deserve the daily pat
ronage of all Idaho people.
The mill has capacity of 125 bar
rels of flour per day. The old faulty
and expensive water power has been
abandoned and the mill is now driv-
en- by electricity. Within the last
year the most modern securing
equipment has been installed and
luther Improvement is planned for
this year.
The mill now not only produces a
very important product for local use
out furnishes a cash market for the
grain of the community. It also en-
ployes a number of men the average
pay roll being about $4,000 or
100000 per month.
FARMERS COOPERATIVE
CREAMERY
Just as the name implies this COM
pany is a farmers organization and
IS shining example that Co-opera-
tive efforts when properly managed
can be successful. In 1921 this firm
manufactured and marketed from
local cream 100000 pounds of butter
and fully expect to go over the mil
