The deal •embraces the factory; factory site, and buildings, and entire equipment, together with all the farms save the kitty acres on the third concession of Stephen. The management will remain stbe same; at least for the present season, The Exeter Canning & -Preserving -Company was organized in the yeas 1906, and for a time was operated as a company with a large number of shareholders, Some few years later a re -organization of the company took :dace and the stock,fell into the hands t six shareholders. Thies factory at the outset started out on, a limited basis of output, but ;n recent years the production and easiness has been greatly expanded, the plant and equipment enlarged and the output, as to quality and quan- tity uaretits has been a c tedilt to the maa,age- menrt We understand the Canadian Can- ners ann rs are to continue operations here with considerable extra capacity.
