Canning Plant Planned at Mays to Use Local Resources
Construction will begin soon on a tomato canning factory at Mays with 250 acres under contract this season. A firm owning Straughn and Shirley canneries bought land south of Main Street along the Nickle Plate line and will build a plant. Work has started on wrecking the old opera house to supply lumber, a railroad siding is expected, and the cannery aims to provide local employment.
