While ike whole world is searching Jor a way to economic stability * South Carolina faces the future with a high hope based on scien* tific fact. ^ * n v " Men and women of South Carolina! We realize that there is need today, for united, concerted action. Unquestionably, we haye here op portunity for making South Carolina permanently prosperous. The foundation has been laid upon a sound scientific basis. We have a vir tual monopoly in the high iodine content of our vegetation. We face jthe future with a high hope based on a scientific fact. Our food product is an absolute necessity and South Carolina has a virtual monopoly. There are so many ways by which development will take place as a result of discoveries already made that if we but grasp our opportuni ties we may, without exaggeration, visualize a South Carolina with the burdens of adversity lifted, and a prosperous and happy citizenship in this Stated ——— Authorities All Agree i Tho claims for South Carolina foods have been substantiated by leading scientists throughout the world and their statements printed in the foremost scientific journals.. / • | . * Tho virtual monopoly, however, which we possess in our products grown here for human and animal foods will make it possible to diver sify our crops and bring us prosperity. S' nz Co-operation Necessary We are, today, faced with and sections which are deeply entrenched. We cannot Tiope to meet their competition unless we too unite and as a single aggressive unit gq forth to take our place in the markets of the world., Besses such an advantage. It will be of value to us only in proportion to our ability to organize our resources, our talents, and our money, for the common good. \. • / It is of the greatest significance that Meade Johnson Company, largest manufacturer of infant foods, has just announced their intention of es tablishing a plant in South Carolina. The Borden Company,, the great est purveyor of milk products in the United States, has decided to Establish a milk drying plant in Newberry, South Carolina. Samples of ipilk will be collected .there from various sections of the state. Each sample will be dried and sent every other day for analysis to theSouth Carolina Food Research Laboratory, located in Charleston, S. C., and the Borden Laboratory at Bainbridge, New York. From this investiga tion will be determined the most suitable situations for the building of plants. V # ^ 1 # v ‘ X . Fruits, Vegetables and Milk Coincident with this work upon milk and foods required by the Borden and Johnson Cos., there will be conducted at the laboratory a careful investigation of vegetables grown in the several sections of the State, and this study will extend throughout the year in order to ascertain if seasonal valuations occur in their iodine content. This work will be undertaken at the request of some of the other important vegetable com panies that contemplate moving into South Carolina. The problem of marketing our wares is paramount. Primarily, we must create a consumer^ demand for our products. Next, packers, can- ners, dairymen and purveyors of milk must be informed of our products. Once a demand is established markets will follow. With our advantage of a virtual monopoly we have thei powerful Weapon with which to drive the great food and dairying companies into our state, to buy our vegetables, animal feeds and milk, that they may save their very economic existence. No other state in the Nation pos- Be A Believer In South Carolina—Demand Home Crown Foods— For the Sake of Your Own Health and Prosperity!
