JACKSON CORRECT is
EXPECTED HOME FROM

Friends of Mr.. Corbet will be glad
to know that he is expecting to leave
the hospital this week. He expects to
recuperate further at his home in
Burton. The severe injuries sustained
in an automobile wreck some two

tedious struggle for recovery. 1t is
gratifying to know that he is over the

pie on the Island have heard. Mr..
Hidell Is featuring the Island clans

Is finding 1t necessary to send out his
own boats, not only around our Island
shores but up and down the Sound as
well.
The extreme care Mr.. Hidell insists
upon IN the selection and preparation
of his products limits his output to
some extent, and he recently lost
large order because he could not sup
ply the demand fast enough. He re-
fuses to lower the quality of his pro-
duct, however, but plans instead to
purchase more boats, and employ help
to enable him to supply the growing
demand. He is at present employing
seven men and operating two boats,
and contemplates the purchase of
third boat soon.
CLANS canned by Mr.. Hidell may be
purchased at any of the groceries on
the Island and many are featuring
them as gifts for eastern friends.
There is no gift more typical of our
Island and our northwest than the
clans which abound on our shores.
We who have always had them do not
realize how greatly they are APP
preciated by those who live inland.
