FORMER MILFORD BOY
MAKES GOOD IN IOWA

The News-Telegraph of Atlantic,
Iowa, in it's issue of December 5,
carried a news item about ]. w.
Cuykendall, formerly resident of
Milford, but now prominent can
ner in Iowa. The article follows:
Atlantic, in the years gone by,
had the largest corn canning fac
tory in the world in point of out
put. With the organization of the
business as it is now organized
over the country the output of the
factory is not as large as it was in
the old. days, but Atlantic still has
distinction in the canning business
which is of more than passing
moment.
John Walter Cuykendall, owner of
the factory operated in this city
and the one at Fremont, Neb., has
been longer in the canning game
than any man now active in the
business. Mr.. Cuykendall has been
engaged in canning and kindred
pursuits for more than fifty-five
years. He was born in New York
state in 1859 and at the age of 1S
years went with his parents to Mil
ford, Delaware. At 16 he conceived
the idea of going into the peach
eVaporating business and engaged
in the business himself. To build
his factory he cut logs and hauled
them to a saw mill, giving the mill
man half the lumber for cutting his
half. He built his factory according
to designs of his own and went at
the evaporating of peaches accord
ing to those same ideas. His total
cash capital was $40 and he cleared
$500 on his years business. The fol-
lowing year he went to Philadel-
phia and leased plant at Leroy, N.
Y, for the evaporation of apples.
That year he cleared $4,000 ON his
years business. Later he went to
Canada and operated eVaporating
plants there which were financially
successful. He made two moderate
fortunes in the business, one of
which he lost by fire, and another
through an absconding broker. /
In 1890 he came to Atlantic, be-
ing employed by the Atlantic Can
ming Company, then headed by ]. A.
In 1897 he bought a half
in the business and for sew
eral years following that was in
with Mr.. McWaid's son,
W. A. McWaid, purchasing his in
terest in the business later. Twenty
six years ago he established the
branch at Fremont, Neb., and mas
operated both factories since. He
packs both corn and pumpkins at
the Atlantic factory.
Since Mr.. Cuykendall embarked in
the canning business the methods
employed in that business have
been completely revolutionized. The
industry itself has undergone a de-
cided change and canned goods,
once in the class with the old time
bakers bread" have come into
their own and are recognized as SUI
perior and desirable food products.
Mr.. Cuykendall, as the dean of
Gamers, has wide acquaintance
among men in that industry and
is known as a man who knows his
stuff" He has brought to Atlantic in
the years he has been engaged in
the canning business here hundreds
Of thousands of dollars, from out
side the state and in addition has
paid out many hundreds of thous-
ands for labor and corn and pump
zins. The canning factory has al
ways been known as one of Allan
ic's leading and most valuable in
lustries and it has a reputation,
ustly earned, of packing nothing
,ut the most superior product.

of the fact that housewives took 10 aluminium utensils in greater num- bcrs than ever before.
 Tho Senate Coalitionists have passed a tariff on aluminium utensils which returns to the rate that exist cd in the Underwood Act. It is so much under the House rate that the final rate will have to be determined at the inevitable conference be- tween tariff committees Of the two houses. and then will have to meet the approval of the two complete bodies once again. There is vide spread fear that the views between the two houses ot Congress are so opposed on the tariff that nothing of importance will be achieved be- fore Congress ends.
 The attack on the raw aluminium rates is an attack on the Mellon company. It will be remembered that the Federal Trade Commission conducted all investigation Of this industry and reported it's findings in October, 1924. The r. T. C. declared that practical monopoly Of aiumi- num production in the United Statcs vas enjoyed by the Alumlnuni Company or America; hat the com. panys trade practices were ire qucntly unfair and discriminatory; and that apparently inc company had earned 4 per cent year on i's investment from 1906 10 1921, Secretary Mellon, whose family owns large proportion Of the aluminium trust" stock, catesorical- ly denied the charges.
 The r. T, (, also charged that tn" Aluminium Company had violated the consent decree in the suit filed against it in 1912 Tor violating the antitrust law, and that the terms of the decree had become made oua,c. A resolution by Senator Walsh to investigate this charge lost by two votes.
