Indications on Thursday evening were that canvassers In behalf ot instituting a new cannery here had more than gone over the top :u securing the necessary ,20,000, that sum having been oversubscribed. The maximum subscription was f2S00 and the mini mum $100. Estimates on equipping the plant apportion $2000 for building Improvements and $5000 for new equipment. It is conceded that the dryer will have to be replaced. Work Is to begin at once in placing the plant in shape for operations just as soon as the fruit and vegetable crops justify it. Enders, Sr., who "guaran tees the sale ot the pack," Is connect ed exclusively with his wholesale establishment, having relinquished control of the big retail department store bearing his name. . . "Enders guarantees a sale of the pack," is the chief Incentive to pur chasing stock in a new cannery pro-, ject here, and of $20,000 necessary, over $10,000 has already been sub scribed. The project Implies not only canning but also evaporating such truits as have the! rhaultat in tills notable horticultural and vegetable re gion, the varieties being numerous and the yield prolific.
