National Canners Associalion
WASHINGTON, D. C.
A nation-wide organization formed in 1907, consisting of producers of all varieties of
' hermetically sealed canned foods which have been sterilized by heat. It neither pro
duces, buys, nor sells. Its purpose is to assure, for the mutual benefit of the industry and
the public, the best canned foods that scientific knowledge and human skill can produce.
11 to Xational Canntrt Atmdation
AMERICA has at least one great industry a knowledge
XJL of which will warm the hearts of all woman-kind.
Salute the canned food on your pantry shelf. The Pure
Food Laws commendable and necessary though they are
are yet far exceeded in the requirements which the great
organized food canning industry of the United States lay3
down for itself.
Think What Such Protection Means
to Our Tables!
You whose important duty is the selection of the food
that goes on the family table, remember this:
All over. the United States there stretch the great
organizations of the Pure Food Laws, Federal and State,
working hand in hand.
All over these same United States there stretches from
Washington from the headquarters there of the National
Canners Association another great pure food organization
the voluntary Inspection Service of the National Canners
Association.
Not How Little It Must Do
But How Much It Can Do
This is not an arm representing force or compulsion.
Rather, it represents a united ambition on the part of a
vast industry to keep itself in spirit and in practice above
any necessity of laws of regulation.
Little wonder, then, that the canning industry has
been called "the industry which legislates for itself" ! Never
does this industry forget that it is dealing with food with
food, the thing of such vast consequence to the little family
circle of the American home. In a very real way it realizes
its responsibility and in a very real way it faces its
responsibility.
If Only You Could See It All For Yourself
Every American housewife should have the privilege of
following through some of the great canneries of fruit;
vegetables, soup, meat, sea food, milk and other products.
Follow the Inspector of the Association as he passes, on one
of his visits, from the supply of fresh foods to the sorting;
cleaning, preparing; follow the Inspector all the way through
to the sealing of the cans, the final cooking, cooling and
storing away.
The Inspector represents a system which corrstantry;
and at great expense, searches out the latest scientific facts
of importance to this vital work of supplying the family
table. He is a symbol of the painstaking care with which
the canning business is conducted. He represents the
earnest determination of the industry to supply our families
with the best of food, clean, wholesome, nourishing anJsafe.
Canned Food "The Miracle on Your Table"
And so may American housewives, mentally at least,
salute the most self-respecting of objects, the can of food.
You are standing before a very wonderful thing a product
which knows the limitations of neither climate nor season,
coming to you at any time and from any place. Richly it
deserves its title "The Miracle on Your Table".
