Stabler in Everybody's, "which the proper authorities will verify veri-fy for you : '" "Thirty per cent of the business of the wholesale grocers of the entire country is In canned goods. In the wholesale houses of New York, Chicago, Chi-cago, Philadelphia and other large cities, cit-ies, foods make up 40 per cent of the business. "The fact Is that, if you were to take the tin cans out of any city of the first or second class, the Inhabitants Inhabi-tants would begin to starve almost at once. That means, of course, thai those cities could not have grown S' large without food conserved in tins.' |
