is that which will ho inaugurated early

jellies, marmalades, sauces, pickles, etc. 
The capacity of the canning department

to purchase every pound of fruit that our 
farmers can produce. The apparatus of the 
establishment ia all new and of the meet 
approved pattern. .Messrs. Hinckly, Spier* 
and Ilaycs, of San Francisco, furnish the
