have been contracted for by Apte
Brothers, who will operate the can
merry. For several years farmers in
the Broadkiln District have had
very little market for tomatoes and
the erection and operation of a can
merry in Milton will be welcome to
them; and to laborers who have
been compelled to seek out-of-town
employment during the canning sea-
son. Next year it is the plan of the
Apte Bros. to can peas and other
vegetables here. thus giving employ
ment all summer to hundreds of
men and women and a market for
farm products. There is no better
section of the country in the east
for the growing of peas, lima and

always been ready market for
Broadkiln grown vegetables.
