North Lawrence canning factory urged on north of river
Citizens urge a large canning facility north of the river to boost production for miles around. Farmers say bottom land, 10 to 20 acre plots, and nearby ice houses favor shipping from the old Dela Ware mill area. First, a company would invest a few thousand dollars for a plant, enabling expanded canning and vegetable planting, with multiple factories raising prices and encouraging more farmers to grow produce.
