Leo Cider 8c Vinegar Company Plant Tlit* best advertiser for a town is the product made in it and Leo Vin egar is advertising Kalis City nil o. the country. It means something; when a merchant says, “O, that Nine gar is made in Kalis ( ily, Nebraska. Another person, the customer, h is been introduced to 1 alls City and so, little by little, the town becomes known abroad. The Leo Cider & Vinegar plant was established in tb s city in 1906. Its growth has been phenonimal and it now stands one of the largest of its kind in the United States. In 1909'it was entirely re-built and al though it was thought at the time that the plant was built large enough 1o permit the growth of several years, it has been running at full capacity this year and it has been found necessary to install eight new generators and nine new tanks giving a storage capacity of 18,000 barrels or about 1,000,000 gal lons of vinegar. The plant eomprlzt s five large buildings with a frontage of 265 ft. depth 200 ft. the buildings being two and three stories high. Every mod em convenience and iimprovemen has been put in.

After it has rea hed a < • *it lin degree of alcoholic fermentation it is acidified by the generator process which consists of large tanks of various shapes and sizes, those in use at the Leo plant being 6x16 which are set off in parti tions and layers and contain a spec ially prepared beechwood shavings. Tile, liquid is started down through tin' top of the tank, or generator and on its downward course naturally comes in contact with the shavings which are encircled witli a fungus growth called Mother of Vinegar. Thi preparation of beechwood also acts as a clarifit r and purifh r. The in side of the generator obtains heat from the vinegar fermentation liac » teria by coming in contact wlili the '■xygen from Jlie* air which comes in f mil tlie bottom of the generators by vent ha!

After the vinegar 1ms r< a lied maturity it is pumped into large air tight tanks to be aged during which time it takes on strength and aroma. This plant is as yet in its infancy but under the efficient management of Mr. Leo it will likely equal its rapid growth of the past four years in the same period in tin* future. Al ready the produets are sold and are in great, demand lay all the big job bers in the west. It stands at the head of the list for purity in the list made by the state pure food cominis d!ou. A number cf Fails City capitalists are interested in the corporation and it; growtli a.id products as well as tt . volume of business done, are p: bit d 'o with pride by our citizens.

The first business was transacted March T. when the construction was only fairly under way. The plant as i( stands rep resents $20,000 in buildings and equip ments, exclusive of stock products. The most recent building erected is the extra large ice house and storage. From twenty five to thirty, people are employed at an aggregate salary of from $250 to $200 per week which is paid to people who spend their money here. The output of the plant is from 20,000 to 40,000 lbs pet week and it will likely surprise1 man.' people to know that the volume of business done during the first eight months was $221,000. It is only just the past two weeks that the plant has been running tip to full capacity. E. E. Mart- lias had charge of the plant as manager since its location here and has made of it such a suc cess that it is considered by thecom P«.ny as one of their most prosperous stations. G. E. Ilanna. president and general manager of the Atchison l’roduec Co., U which this plant is a branch feels m well satisfied with the results of this year's operations that he says a milk fcdding station where thousands I of fowls will be grown, will In'■ opened here in the early summer, for | which preparations will begin next 1 spring. in u milk tedding s:ntion pens arc constructed along certain improved lines, the system us d providing for cleanliness, the < are and htaltli of the fowls, tlieir comfort and growth and the easiest and mo t sitcesesfnl means for the care taker in handling such tin immense family of birds. A spedial line of feeding is follow ed, the feed comprising To per cent pure buttermilk, jo per cent pure bolted corn meal. J per cent to ,i iter cent uiica grit, - per cent or per cent pure beef tallow. The fowls taken at from 1 P to J lbs weight gain about 40 par cent p« r month under this systematic feeding. There are numerous advantages in preparing fowls in this way. They J are alwaays available when a certain I weight is desired which is not always true when the rural supply must tie depended upon. Then, too, there are vast numbers of people, and numerous denominations and sects be side the Jewish people who rigidly \ liar scavenger fowls. The advantages to a company in placing pen-fed fowls on the market ar-- readily seen. Tin plant lias a* id< al location for shipping purposes. It is situated at the south end of Stone street about midway between the Missouri Pacific and Iiurliugton stations and botli lines have built -1 aeks to the plant. Tile buildings are all kept clean and ord< rlv and though at first it was bard to get women to go there and work . now that the methods employ ed and the surroundings are better known more women are applying and they stay by the job. Mr. Marr invites strangers to visit tire plant, and it is really worth while to Investigate. Vou will find a cor dial welcome awaits you, a clean and orderly establishment and obliging people who are always willing to show you about and give to you such information as they possess. Considering the development of this first year, the National Produce Company bids fair to soon become one of the really big enterprises In tliis section.
