Graham. who has had extensive cxpcr-
iencc in the marketing end Of the can

Mr.. Graham started promotion Of the
plan early in the autumn. and on Nov
embcr %, sent out several thousand
circular letters to leading business men
and farmers in all parts Of the Valley
for the purpose Of securing public op-
inion upon the necessity Of canning
plants to take care Of the Valleys sur
plus crops. Hundreds Of replies were re-
ceivcd to these circulars, and Of this
number cnIy ono was unfavorable 70
the project.
The unanimous endorsement given the
movement resulted in Mr.. Grahanis dc
cision to proceed with the promotion Of
the project. and he announces that
plans have been perfected which assure
the erection OF the primary plant in

year.

A Valley Proposition
THE Ko Grandc Valley Canning
Company is to be distinctsvely Valley
proposition. and we are cndchvoring to
interest every farmer IN the Valley
Mr.. Graham stated. I'VE are not pro-
noting Il as a 'get-rieh quick scheme.

during the formative period while the
company is building up its business,
but the vegetables can he raised here,
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1923-01-07

and there IN world wide demand for
the products Of the Valley.
There il no logical reason why IL
should not within few years pay big
dividends on every share Of stock. but
while we arc building up the business
the Valley should not lose sight Of the
fact that the canning plants are Great
ing a market for Valley products. and
viii! be utilizing products which have
heretofore returned very little profit to
the Valley farmers. In this way indirect
dividends will be accruing to the VAL
ley from the moment the first plant
starts operation. The plants will create
new wealth for the Valley. and even if
they never paid q cent in dividends On
the stock, they will prove one of the
Valleys most valuable assets
Valley Men III Control.
The company will be controlled BY
Valley men only. Mr.. Graham stated,
and will be- to . great extent coop
crativc concern. The farmers Of the
Valley will be solicited to take stock
and il the entire stock Il subscribed by
farmers il will serve to create more
support and interest among them,
thereby assuring the plants the co-ou-
