THE CANNING FACTORY.
t A Home Institution of Great Benefit
n to the Farmer.
To the Editor of the Observer.
Bet:..- This new enterprise of Charlotte is
^ovr in its second year of operation,
IT R and promises to be one of the leadR
ing industries of the developing wave
that the states of North and South
Carolina are now experiencing. The
Rgu . president of this new concern for sevRv
era! years has been endeavoring to
Bcfe ~ think out a plan that will give the cotSi*../.;.
ton-growing farmer a crop that wil"
r~r ;i? . get the cash that farmers in the past
have looked to cotton for.
In time past#there has been nothing I
aa^v-: but the cotton crop that could be!
counted a money crop. In the year
rv:. 1921 Mr. Thomas interested enough
. of* the farmers of Mecklenburg county
gjo build a little plant. In the sumi?
rucr of 1921 they run about two or two
1% ^ ahd a half months canning quite a lot
?11 of fruits and perishable vegetables,
: and for which they found a ready
Rr . market at a good price, thus selling all
rc the product that they packed. To the'
|fc ' present time there has been no kick
B&v. whatever on the quality of the canned
- product or the quantity. and has
l&i* proved to be one of the leading lines
P?" carried on the shelves of the best re
, tail stores in the city, and the surH
rounding towns, finding a ready sale.
K This new concern could have sold ten
times as much of the product as it
Be ._ did. The whole of the output was
K":' sold in the two Carolinas, delivered by j
truck, eliminating all railroad freight
! rates, sexuiis <*t a uncaps [J1 iv;c uiaa
can products packed in foreign states.
The soil in the surrounding territory
grows as good products, if not
better, than those that are raised elsewhere,
and this new concern has had
-tetter after letter of inquiry, asking
about this year's pack and wanting to
.buy blanket order, for future delivery.
?
.. Seeing the great opportunity that
the new enterprise offered and seeing
that there Is a great future for , it,
and #that it will some day be a landmark,
to the betterment of this state
and the south at large, bringing to you
the means by which to create a new
money crop to give you the ready
cash, for the ever-present need3,
which comes to all, the company has
this year brought here a man to super-1
intend the plant, look after the acre- {
I age, and the culture of the growing j
. crops, and at a great expense, offers j
to the farmers of Mecklenburg county'
his services, gratis, until harvest. The

company has already ordered the very
latest improved machinery for the
plant?T-power hoists, a tracking transferring
system through the plant, and
are putting in one sealing machine
that will close 1,200 cans in ten hours.
With this modern equipment they will
be able to handle all the contracted
crop, a big surplus without delay to
the parties delivering products. They
will offer and put in the shelves of
your grocer, the very best line of can
ned goods and fruits that can be
found in any up-to-the-minute store.
Under the supervision of their expert
this product will be second to none,
in the south, north, or west. At the
same time when you carry home this
line of foods you are boosting a home
I institution, helping your' farming
friendse to a new base by which to
overcome this cotton evil that has gotten
to the point of bankruptcy for
the great south, and if there was no
diversification would ruin all the
southern states. It is the duty of
every home-loving person in our state
to not only boost but put a shoulder
to the wheel and push.
The Thomasboro Canning company
offers great opportunities to the farmers
as wel las the man who sells this
class of goods, also the man that want.4
to invest in one of the most wideawake
concerns in North Carolina.
Right now is the time to line up to a
bigger future, and a future income.
Investigate this new concern. Go
out and see the home of this enterprise,
talk over the matter with the
managing force, then ask your banker
his opinion of its outcome. He will
not mislead you.
Ninety per cent of the world live
out of tin cans and paper sacks, so
do your part to fill these cans and
sacks, as a grower, a retailer, or as a
financier. Some one does, somewhere,
at all times. Why not you?
We invite your co-operation; we solicit
your good-will and support; we
agitate the slogan, patronize a home
concern, toot your own horn, boost
your state, buy a home product if
there is one.

RIOLEAU, Se cretary and Trea:
' over the state intensive efforts are
t being made to secure contracts to the
South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative
Association. Over 4,000 fart
mers who have already joined the association.
have pledged to take the
I field this week and endeavor to have
their brother farmers who have not
i yet joined to enlist under the eoop'
erative banner. It is hoped to sign
over 100,000 bales this week.
Letters from prominent bankers all
! over the state strongly endorsing the
asociation and calling on all bankers
; and business men to assist in putting
the campaign across were received by
the assocaton last week.
"I am most heartily in favor of the
cooperative marketing of cotton for
the reason that it helps all those living
in the cotton belt," wrote C. G.
Rowland, president of the National
Bank of South Carolina at Sumter.
"I sincerely hope the campaign to organize
the state may be a decided success.
If the cotton producer has to
buy from those who are organized and
sell to those who are organized and
he0himself does not organize, who is
the loser? What affects the farmer
affects all of us."
Prom J. S. Stark, president of the
Planters Bank of Abbeville came the
following:
"The organization of the cotton
growers cooperative association is the
greatest movement for the benefit of
the farmer ever undertaken in this
state. It wil ldo more to prevent him
from holding cotton for a lower price
than any plan that has ever been presented
. Where it has been tried it is
a success and I earnestly hope that
the organization will soon be completed
in this state. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating. By all means
let us have the proof."
P. E. Clinkscales, president of the
Bank of Anderson wrote: "I have gone
fully *$nto the plan of the cotton co'
operative marketing association and
j most heartily approve of it. It ap
pears to be a step in tne ngnt direction
and in my opinion it will prove
beneficial both to the grower and
buyer of this cotton. The assembling
and classifying according to grade
alone is certainly the most economic
plan for marketing. Its distribution
and sale as needed by experts is wise."

SOME PRAYER.
A celerated revivalist came to address
his flock, and before he began
to speak the pastor said "Brother
Jones, before you begins this discourse,
there are some powerful bad
negroes in this here congregation and
I want to pray for you," which he did
in this fashion:
"O Lord, give B/other Jones the eye
of the eagle, that he may see sin from
nfar Olne his ear to the erosnel tele- I
phone, and connect him with the central
skies. Illuminate his brow with
brightness that will make the fire of
hell look like a tallow candle. Nail
his hands to the gospel plow and bow
his head in some lonesome valley
where prayer is much wanted to be
said, and anoint him all over with the
kerosene oil of Thy salvation and set
him afire."?Congressional Record.
The Apostles Work Wonders.
And by the hands of the apostles
were many signs and wonders
wrought among the people. And believers
were the more added to the
Lord, multitudes both of men arid women.?Acts
5:12-14.
