Employees of Smyrna's
Refrigeration Industry
This the of series of articles the of Wilson
Cabinet Company, Smyrna's Big Business.

The life story of John E. Wilson
Jr., (Skeet), President and found
er of the Wilson Cabinet Co., Inc
and Wilson Refrigeration, Inc, is 9
great human interest story. The
following story is the result of q
fifteen minute interview held in his
Office day before yesterday. There
is not an employee of the Wilson
Cabinet Company who will not ad-
NIT that the founder and President
has the reputation of being the
hardest working man in the outfit.
1t is result of years, on Mr.. Will
sons part, of prodigious industry,
long hours, new ideas, and fearless
determination to carry them out.
Born on farm one mile west of
Clayton, the son of the late Mr..
and Mrs. John E. Wilson, Mr.. Will
son was educated the Alley School
House, Clayton Primary School
and later Smyrna High School. In
the year 1913, he moved to Smyr-
ia with his father who purchased
a hardware and farm implement
business. He stopped school after
his Junior year and started work.
ing for the Telephone Company.
In September 1916 he was enrolled
at the Mercersburg Academy,
Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, con-
tinuing through 1917, and would
have graduated had it not been for
the First World War when he de-
cided to enter the SATC at the |
University of Delaware, which con-
tinued until the end of the War in
1918.
Mr.. Wilson earned part of his
way through Mercersburg as he
was Working Boy" for the first
year, waiting on tables and school
electrician for the second year.
II had little time for sleep" Mr..
Wilson reminisced, ''for extra
spending money came the hard
way for me-" In addition to wait
ing on tables, being shocked with
electricity now and then and stud
les, I set myself up in a little bust I
ness. I purchased some clothes

two years of Business Aministra-

Mr.. Wilson took a position as
salesman on the road and at the
same time married the former Miss
Bertha Merrill of Pocomoke, Mary
land and resided in one of the Far
rell Apartments. They have one
son, John E. Wilson, III, age twen-
ty-one, and one daughter, Nancy

After spending two years on the
road, he started to work with his

This vast purchasing power of
irrigation farmers here and else
where is created through de-
pendable crop production, un-
affected by the vagaries of the
weather. Last year the five mil
lion acres of land irrigated by
the Bureau of Reclamation pro-
duced more than half a billion
dollars in crops. This single years
return, please note, exceeds the
cost of building the irrigation
works serving the land.
No less significant as a pro-
duct of Reclamation DEVELOPMENT
is hydroelectric power. Bureau
of Reclamation plants on the
West Coast provided at least half
of the energy used in building
planes, ships, guns, :, and tanks
manufactured in that part of the
country Less spectacular, but
equally important has been the
role of Reclamation generators
in delivering low-cost power for
pumping water, driving industry,
lighting homes and easing the
drudgery of farm life.
One Billion Invested
In my evaluation of the Bureau
'of Reclafnation's phase of the
first 100 years of U. S. irri-
CATION, want to point out that
the appropriation of Federal
funds for reclamation develop
ment is a most prudent use of
the public money. About a bill
lion dollars have already been
invested. Every cent spent for
irrigation and multiple-purpose
projects, except small ALLEGATIONS
to flood control and navigation,
| is returned to the Treasury
through payments by water users
and sale of hydroelectric power
That is not all the Government
receives. In addition to the re-
turn of its investment, it reaps
! a vast sum in taxes from wealth.
producing lands and business
activity in project cities and
towns. For example, the people
of Yakima and Benton Counties
alone have paid more than q
hundred million dollars in Fed
eral income taxes. This is 215
times the cost of bringing water

Mr.. Kutulas has recently returned

studied conditions in the noun

observation that the people need

secondly, they need grains for
flour. In many sections the peo-
