Gentlffinen ; 
This past April 29 I was up in the northeastern 
part of the Belgian Congo in a place called Gangala-na- 
Bodio and for provisions had to turn to a local native 
cantina. Cto the shelves were a number of canned soups. 
The labels were soraewlat the worse for wear but the 
contents of the cans were in excellent condition. The 
question I would like to have answered iss When were 
these particular soups canned? 
I enclose herewith the metal top of one of the 
tins of “Cream of Celery Soup?" Any information that 
you can give me regarding it would be keenly appreciated. 
Sincerely yours.
