Clubmen Visit
KenneWick Main
Industrial Plant
Kiwanians Take a Trip
Through Church Grape
Juice Plant

Stressing the point that Kenne-
wick residents should be thoroughly
familiar with the home town indus
tries, the program committee of the
Kiwanis club today took the men,
bers on personally conducted tour
of the towns leading industry, the
Church Grape Juice Co.
Under the direction of Manager
Francis Ludlow, the group was
shown through the plant, from the
huge presses to the bottling rooms
and storage rooms for the yet to be
bottled juice and the filled cases
ready to be shipped.
Thousands of five gallon glass
jugs are in storage, waiting for the
sediment to settle before the juice
is siphoned off and pasteurized in
the pint and quart bottles. The
sediment in the five gallon demij joins
is the cream of tartar from which
baking powder is manufactured and
hundreds of pounds Of this sub
stance are shipped east each year
for this purpose.
The company is using new type
bottle this year, neceSS1tattng ex-
pensive changes in the labelling
equipment This ingenius machine
puts two labels on the bottle as well
as a neckband of gold foil all in
one operation. The bottles are Of q
new type glass, too, much lighter in
weight, thus effecting q saving on
freight.
The pasteurizing machine Is q
complicated ferris wheel sort Of an
arrangement which carries baskets
full Of bottles through an hours
trip in scalding hot water, after
which they pass through the label
ing machine and thence into the
cartons in which they are shipped.
The company is planning extern
Sive engagements in their plant
next year. This action will be ne
cesSitated as their recent paintings
of vineyards come into bearing. This
year the plant pressed 1000 tons Of
grapes while they anticipate at
least 2700 for the coming year.

corning the attempted purchase of
