0ROVILLE CANNERY
HIGHLY PRAISED
By a Gentleman Who Is In a Position
to Pass Judgment Upon
Quality Pack.

many industries, not as many as there
should be, but the few we have have
made a far reaching reputation for
producing the best that is OF the few
articles produced. From the success
that has been achieved by the few
engaged in producing articles enter
ing in to the channels of commerce 1t
would seem that others would select
Oroville as place in which to engage
in other lines of industry. By being In
iuxtaposition with those manufacturers
that are producing tae best 1t would be
an insentive 70 rthose in other lines
to use every effort to turn out a su
perior article.
We were induced to enter upon this
tangled line Of reasoning from the
praise from quarters where those In
dulging In praise are in position to
pass critical judgment, that has
been uttered on behalf of the pack
turned out by the local cannery. The
latesN comment that has been called
to our notice it not the first recon-
mendation that has followed the test
ing of the output of the local plant,
but it is confirmation strong as proof
of holy writ that the good words here
tofore expressed upon the quality of
the Oroville canned goods were based
upon the merit of the article praised.
The latest expression OF apprecia-
ton for the OrOville canned tomatoes
comes from E. l.. Powell, senior men,
ber of the wholesale grocery firm Of
Powell-Sanders company. the oldest.
tne largest and best known wholesale
grocery house in eastern Washington,
and when Mr.. Powell deigns to ex-
press appreciation for brand OF
goods that enters into general con-
sumption from his long years of ex-
perience he is man who knows
whereof he speaks. That there was
sincerity behind his words is proved
by the fact the Powell-Sanders people
enters into contract to take over
the entire output Or the Uroville can
merry eacn season, and If the company
did not find that the canned goods
from this source gave entire satisfac-
ton to the consumer 1t would fight
shy of taking over any more of the
product.
The expression of approval Of the
Oroville canned tomatoes as uttered
by Mr.. Powell Is taken from the New
West Trade, trade paper published
at Spokane, and the praise thus ex-
pressed was upon an occasion that
would leave lasting impression up
on his hearers. The paper says that
"a little home industry campaign that
could be profitably emulated by other
manufacturers has been put on by the
Powell-Sanders company" and that "in
a period of two weeks the company
gave five dinners in the spice room Of
their establishment to merchants,
housewives, leaders of the Spokane
Women's Club, members of the manu-
facturers association and others who
have business relations with the firm. "
Hence this was an audience that could
appreciate any speeches made upon
the subject of home made goods. Mr..
Powell was presumably the chief
spokesman and during his talk "he
emphasized that a great part OF the
products handled by his company are
Inland Empire products, declaring
that the best tomatoes available are
CANNED IN OROVILLE, WASH" And
there you are. Testimony from one so
high in authority upon the quality OF
any brand of goods handled by dealers
cannot be questioned. Commentator
came from Mr., Powell spontaneously
unsolicited, unexpected and for that
reason is so much more appreciated
not only by the company operating the
Oroville cannery, all local business
men, but by the entire community al
large, every member of which should
be proud of our little plant and the
reputation it has made.
The capacity Of the Oroville can
merry is as yet Of limited extent and
the product so far is confined to the
tomato, but the present plant is but
the groundwork of something OF
more ambitious nature in the future
Tle company is fortunate in securing
the service of competent and reliable
manager, the soil produces the bes
tomatoes grown, and as other vege
tables and fruits produced are equa
to the very best that reaches the mar
ket it is only to be anticipated tina
in the course of time the Oroville can
merry will be largely augmented ant
its output will include many othe
table delicacies both Of vegetables ant
fruits. And when the additional out
put is reached it is safe to predict tha
the quality will be equal in every re
spect to the tomatoes that have al
ready made the Oroville cannery ia
nous.
