The Rock Island magazine of the

From Saturday' DtO.
Some months ago the Wilson Col
lander, a device patented by Mrs.
Elizabeth Wilson, residing south of
this cityT was first brought to the
attention of the public by its ap
apparent usefulness to the household
in doing a great many things in the
way of assisting in preparing fruits
and vegetables for canning or cook
ing, and not a little interest was
created in the device.
At the state fair Mrs. Wilson, who
had a number of the machines there,
was asked to sell a number of them
and some thirty-eight were sold right
on the spot and this called the at
tention of the friends of the inventor
to the fact that it could be made a
paying investment, if the collanders
could be turned out in quantities. '
Last evening a number of those
interested, together with the in
ventor, Mrs. James Wilson, met, at
the offices of the Murray State bank
and perfected the organization of a
co-operative company to handle the
manufacture of the collanders.
The officers elected were as fol
lows :
W. G. Boedeker, president.
W. H. Puis, secretary-treasurer.
Harrison L.. Gayer, manager.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson. George
Nickles, G. M. Minford. John Farrts
and W. A. Hull, directors.
The members of the company de
cided on ordering a number of the
coHanders manufactured at Lincoln
at once to be placed on the market
and to later take up the proposition
of the manufacture of the device in
large numbers and possibly the se
curing of a factory for this purpose,
but this will be left to future developments.
VEEY PLEASANT PICNIC
From Saturday's pally.
One of the very pleasant social
events of the early fall was the pic
nic party held this week at the at
tractive grounds near the standpipe
by a number of the young people of
the city. The early part of the eve
ning was spent in the enjoyment of
the pleasant luncheon prepared by
the ladies and the evening concluded
with a dancing party at the F. E.
Schlater home which brought to a
close a most delightful occasion.
Those attending the event were:
Misses Jeanette Weber, Mildred and
Margart Schlater, Genevieve Whel
an, Helen Egenberger, Clara Trilety,
Emma Wohlfarth; Messrs. James A.
V. and Fred J. Warren, Raymond
Rebal. William Schlater. Claire Hud
