PICKLE FACTORY PLANS TO LOCATE AT MONTGOMERY 

The Montgomery truck growers association sent Mr. J. W. Thomas, whose expenses
were paid by a concern in Detroit Michigan, that is desirom of installing a
pickle factory in Montgomery to that place to investigate the financial
advantage of same.  If matters look promising to Mr. Thomas, he will give the
impression to the association and they will give official permission for the
concern to begin with plans to take care of next years cucumber crop.  At some
time a display of Montgomery Cucumbers crop was inspected by this firm in
Detroit and Mars. Wardlow, mayor of the town was written for information
concerning the matter.  Later they informed the association that they would be
anxious to install a factory of the truckers would guarantee a one hundred and
fifty acres of cucumbers next year.  At a call meeting of the association an
approximate census was taken of the acreage possible for next years crop and
it was easy to see that the required amount would be provided with a
possibility of an increase later.  So the cucumber factory is ours--9 chances
to 1--ours if we want it.  One more stride toward further success to the
Montgomery truckers.
