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. Twenty-five cars

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

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

head of the list for purity in the list
made by the state pure food cominis

A number cf Fails City capitalists

The National Poultry & Egg I
Company began the first work on
their plant after the middle of Feb
ruary 1910—in other words is less,
than a year old. 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
