Herbert, manager of the i Newberry Cannery company, advertises that he will buy them or can them in any quantity. As he says, the main object of the cannery is to help you save these things. It pays to take the produce there, as the can- ; nery guarantees its work . When the 1 manager says they are well equipped : for the business he tells what will S not ibe disputed iby anyone who will j visit the cannery and see it in oper- j ation. It is nice, clean work, done! by particular hands, and the place is j kept in good sanitary condition. It is j pleasant pastime to watch the ma- ' cbinery canning the goods and to j inspect the entire outfit. The dewberry cannery is not only a good institution for Newberry county, of great benefit to the people, but it is operated also on an accommodating scale. The most poverty-stricken cit izen with only enough to fill one can will be accomodated along .with the (; citizen who takes enough for 1,000.
