"She has all the qualities that

dates three or four times with diff

break / can manage to forget her
and I won't have to worry.
When / tell her these things,
she begs me not to break with her,

has ever loved. What I'd like to
know is, If girl really and truly
loves a man can she do things
which she knows will hurt him.
81 can't see my way clear to
marrying her for about one and

to make a good wife to me, would
she make these dates with other
men? BILL"
If her engagement has not been

girl does not consider it murder
In the first degree" to have an oc.
casional date with another man.
You, Of course, have the same
privilege regarding other girls.
And granting you care enough
for this young lady to want to
marry her, at the end of a year and
a half, shouldn't you have enough
confidence in her to be willing for
her to go out sometimes?

Other Van Camp plants in Indi-

In 1888 the firm changed its

Van Camps contribution to, and

to Hoosier farmers by the company.
There are a total of 10000 acres in

Van Camps to Mark Diamond Jubilee Friday,
Honor Founder, Who Started in Frame Grocery
BY FREDERICK G. MATsON

Van Camps, Inc, native Indian
apolis food-packing company and
today the worlds largest vegetable
Gamers, will observe its diamond
jubilee anniversary next Friday and
pay tribute to its founder, Gilbert
G. Van Camp.
From obscure beginnings in
frame grocery rs years ago the
Van Camp concern has developed
into an organization comprising a
total of Il packing plants in five
states. Nine plants in Indiana
alone have an annual pay roll of
approximately million and a
quarter dollars.
It's long stretch of time and
imagination back to 1861, but let's
try to picture a typical grocery of
that period in typical Middle
Western town.
There Gilbert Van Camp laid the
foundations of the canning indus
try.
1t was called the Fruit House Gro
Gerry. Inside, bins and barrels were
much in evidence. Dried cod, mack
erel and cured meats dangled from
hooks and wires. Sugar, unground
coffee, tea, spices, molasses, pickles
all were sold in bulk. Precious
few cans, cartons and bottles were
present to thwart adventurous flies.
No Parking Problem
Barter and carry was most often
the basis of the transactions, rather
than cash and carry. There was as
yet no parking problem.
While the customers made their
spring purchases in the front of
the Fruit House Grocery, the future
Van Camp canning business was
having its meager beginnings in the
rear. For years Gilbert Van Camp
had been flirting with the idea of
preserving fresh fruits and vege-
tables in cans during the summer
for consumption in winter.
The Fruit House Grocery became
the Van Camp Packing Co. The
first few years were beset with diff
flculties. Equipment was crude and
cumbersome and the process pain
fully slow. But it worked, and it's
practicability was demonstrated.
For the next 80 years, progress,
while not rapid, was steady. Then,
in 1890, the firm introduced prod
uct that was to lift the industry to
rapid expansion. More than that,
this product was soon to become an
American institution.
Canned pork and beans!
First Canned Baked Beans
Boston, so legend has it, was the
birthplace of baked beans. But
Van Camps, in Indianapolis, was
the originator of the canned product
with pork, and with tomato sauce.
With the marketing of pork and
beans, the canning industry broke
out of its sWaddling clothes. Evi-
dence of this appeared in the Pc
riodicalS of the day. AS the house
wife of the nineties glanced through
her favorite magazine she saw adj
vertiSements for such useful and
essential items as bicycle skirts, at
So up; muslin night gowns at 10
cents, bingham for cents a yard,
and hour-glass corsetS at only so
cents.
Then one day she observed a full
page advertisement for Van Camps
Pork and Beans with Tomato
Sauce" 1t was the first full-page
canned foods advertisement in a
national magazine.
The trial package method of put
ting goods on the market is always
good business, and the Van Camp
case has proved no exception. An
amusing instance of this was re-
counted by company officials.
An advertisement for Van Camps
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-03-10

pork and beans appeared in the
famous old Munsey's Magazine in
November, 1897. Included in the
copy were the words: "Send
cents in postage for sample can"
Under date of Dec. 7, 1858
years later-a letter was received at
the indianapolis plant from a party
in Livingston, Ky. It was short and
Snappy: Dear Sirs-Please send
me sample can of your pork and
beans. I am incloSing 6 cents post
age"
A sample can, of the vintage of
1895, not 1897, was forthwith sent
the Kentucky gentleman.
Another milestone in Van Camp
development was marked in 1894,
when the company's greatly in
creased business necessitated NOV
ing into new and larger factory,
where a growing demand for it's
products could be met by more
rapid and modern production facili-
ties.
AS indianapolis developed and
thrived, so did Van Camps, and
again, in 1919, the firm was forced
to expand. In that year it's pres
ent 100000 seven-story factory
was completed. Here are housed

read by sections with the minority
offering frequent amendments. The
fool proof" proposals sought civil
service and competitive examina-
lions for those persons, directing the
welfare law, should it be enacted.
Several Changes Made
Several committee changes were
made. The section setting up IS
welfare districts in 26 of the smaller
counties was deleted and a new Sec
ton, giving counties the option to
consolidate, substituted.
The director of the division of cor
rections, one of four divisions of the
proposed state welfare department,
was given jurisdiction over paroles
and probation services instead of
having these duties repose in the
board itself.
A provision was added directing
county commissioners to provide
necessary quarters for the county
departments.
Other Minor Changes
There were other minor changes,
including one that the word serial"
precede the word bonds" in the
section authorizing county councils
to raise money by bond issue in
event appropriations fall short.
Before the welfare bill was taken
up, however, there was some par
liamentary maneuvering on a con-
current resolution by Rep. James
M. Knapp (R., Hagertsown), calling
for an itemized accounting from the
State Board of Accounts and the
state auditor on the condition of
the general fund and an estimate
of receipts expected during 1886.
Majority Leader Thompson finally
succeeded in having the resolution
made special order of business for
Thursday afternoon at 2:3O over

Job Open

If the gentleman who
thought up the names for
Pullman cars will apply to Val
McLeay, secretary-engineer of
the City Plan Commission, he
might get a job.
Mr.. McLeay and the County
Commissioners decided recent
ly to do away with all street
name Implications in Marion
County. They thought this
would make life lot easier
for mailmen and delivery boys.
During their survey they
found several Orchard-avs and
a dozen Main-sts. 1t was there
belief, however, that they would
have to change just $50 names.
Today they discovered they
have to think up new names
for between 400 and 500 streets.

CLAUDE NJ. WORLEY TO
BE RELEASED MARCH 20
But a Year in the County Jail
Here Still Faces Him.

Claude M. Worley, former chief
of police, now serving a five-year
term at Leavenworth penitentiary.
is to be eligible to return to In
dianapolis March %, officials at the
penitentiary have announced.
The government is to release Wor-
ley on that date if he pays the
$4,000 fine against him. If he takes
pauper's oath and refuses pay
ment he is to be held an additional
80 days.
A one-year term in the Marion
County Jail was imposed on him by
Federal Judge Robert G. Baltzell,
who announced at the time of the
sentence, July %, 1882, that the
jail sentence was ordered so that
Worley would not be eligible for
parole after serving the usual one
third of his maximum sentence.
Consequently, he is to be commit
ted to the county Jail after his re-
lease from prison.
