1 Every cannery hjsfs madq some
considerable . addition since last
year, anywhere - f com $5,000 to
$50,000, for frnit-handling effici
ency.' for. workers'- welfare, ; for
machinery or for warehouses. The
King's . Products company has
prbbably," spent the most s money
ot all of the older factories In Its
new cooking room and .equipment.
The- Northwest cannery, brand
new from I top to bottom, repre
sents the largest new Investment.
The Oregon Packing company has
made some revolutionary changes
in the accommodations for its
help. It promises to ' be an especi
ally desirable ; place for work; un
der the new conditions. The Pro
ducers' have made more of a real
factory revision than any other in
the city. They should save great
ly in their labor costs.: ;- ,
I All Are Optimistic ,
- Nobody; . corporation or cooper
ation, has lain down in despair;
every plant Is alive with optimism.
To get ready for ..better handling
of more and better fru.it has been
the slogan in every factory."' Es
pecially is it noticeable that they
are aiming to give the ' workers
better light and more; comfortable
conditions, encouraging more skill
fur and interested t and quicker
handling of fruit; and in the stor
age of the fruit so that it .will get
to ' the - cans in . prime condition
It would appear,; from an inspec
tion of the canneries, that there
will be more 'quality ; fruit in Sa
lem ' this year than ever before,'
The market demand is for qual
ity to match against the cheap
ness of other fruits than can be
sold for1 less 'money, :and the can
ners are - meeting this demand
.with unanimous gladness. -

- ' An interesting test was made at
the Producers cannery of the new
Pugh. fruit grader. . This ' is made
Vlth a series of. parallel endless
belts running oyer separate pul
leys mounted on common shafts
at either ' end, the belts being
made of garden hose, and the pul
leys being adjustable so that while
they' runV closely together at the
hopper or t eed end, they can be
set farther apart at the other end
than the largest fruit they" are to
serve. The 'fruit is carried smooth
ly In the groove formed by the
two round belts, until they di
verge enough to let each separate
berry or fruit drop through. Can
vass partitions are set underneath

tion can be as close as the oper
ator wishes to make it. On
gooseberries It worked to perfec
tion.,, It was built last winter, top
late for anything but English wal
nuts, which it handled perfectly.
C. J. Pugh, the patentee, is at the
Producers' cannery this year and
he expects to give the machine a
thorough test on all kinds of
fruit. Thus far it seems to Just
about fill the dottor's prescription
for the fruli Industry.
- Well; Under Way
With 150 employes already
working on spinach at the King's
company factory, and with goose
berries, coming in by. the tons and
tons, and with about .three can
neries already canning gooseber
ries, the fruit season may be said
to be fairly begun in Salem.

"High rent is bearable as long
as excessive profits are made to
meet them," ' ald 'A. Louis" Solof,
manager,, of the People's Cash
store, and formerly manager ot
Eugene branch. ' "As long as we
try to j serve a community - with
low prices and good merchandise
we must . keep dpwn ourV over
head," he added. . m ;
; "tWhen the landlord said! "more
money" it meant a -raise in prices,
but the People's Cosh, store don't
raise prices; we lower them, and
that meant that, we must move!
"No: locations - .'to get fid . a
$25,000 stock ".on "our hands. A
hasty meeting of the managers of
the store resulted in , an, prder. to
"ship the goods to Salem. ' That
means no "more branch stores for
us. That decision 1 ' 'emphasises
that the People's Cash store has
pinned its faith to the prosperity
of Salem and will use every dollar
to serve this community, for the
betterment of the business and
community at large." . ;
