LACQUERED CAN GOODS IN OGDEN. I Two of the largest canneries in j this district, in competition with all : the canneries in the countr, were I awarded a contract to supply 13. Run j cases of peas for the United States 'army, and the local plants are now I preparing the goods for shipment. Before being accepted all the cans I must be lacquered and then when 'boxed must be strapped. These re-I'qiiirements re-I'qiiirements indicate that the ship-'ments ship-'ments are for the Philippines or the Panama canal zone, as the lacquering is to prevent the rusting of the cans in a damp climate The obtaining of this contract, under un-der competitive conditions, is further proof that Ogden canned goods are superior Mo3t of the peas ordered are classed as fancy and were selected I on samples. Ogden tomatoes and peas nre today to-day accepted tn all markets as the ! very best and generallv sell at n jsmall advance over tho canned prod ucts from other states. This superiority superi-ority assures a bright future for tho local canning industry' Into which these products of tho farm so largely enter.
