Anent the address delivered before
the -Seaforth Farmers' Club recently
by Mr, Larsen,, of Burford, a•native
of Denmark, in which he urged a co-
operative packing plaint, owned and
operated by the farmers of -Huron and
Perth, describing at the same time a
$250,000 plant now under- construc-
tion at Barrie, the following clipping
from the Clinton New Era, of Sept-
ember, 1904, 'gives an insight into an
attempt to start a packing business in
Huron county nearly .thirty_ years ago:
In February, 1901, the 'farmers of
Colborne township, started an agita-
tion toerect a co-operative pork
packing factory in Huron county, ow-
ing to the success with which the
Palmerston and ,Harrist.an ,factories
were then meeting. The town coun-
cils of Goderich, Blyth and .Clinton
were approached and asked to send
delegates to Smith's Hill, where a
large meeting of farmers and .repre-
sentatives from Goderich, Clinton and
Blyth assembled; it was finally decid-
ed to hold a meeting. at. Clinton in
April; at this meeting the Blyth rep-
resentatives dropped`out. It was de-
cided to go ahead and form a joint
stock company with a capital stock of
$150000 divided into shares of $20
each, The town cannon, desirous of
securing further industries for the
town, guaranteed to print the prospec-
tus and guarantee the expenses of se-
curing $20.000 worth of stock, prov-
ided the said expense did not exceed
$200. A committee' from town was
appointed to get up the prospectus
andthese were sent broadcast over
the county. Canvassers were then
put on the road. 'Considerable suc-
cess attended their early efforts.
At a meeting in November, 1901, it
was found .that one canvasser alone
had secured $3000 •in small subscrip-
tions of $20 each; this was thought to
be encouraging. At this meeting the.
promtoter of the Petrolia Packing Go.
offered to come in and, float the H.P
& CIS. and to bring in English capi-
tal,oand other propositions were made
by different parties. '.These were tak-
en into considera'tion and the proposi-

was finally accepted in January, 1902
Bis proposition was simply to se-
cure $13,000 worth ' of ' subscriptions
before
March 10, 1902, and to sell
$50,000 worth of stock in 10 months,
for which he t,vas to secure a com-
mission son of 5er cent. ent, and 150 shares
of paid-up stock in the company

was completed, He
started a very vigorous campaign, se-
cured subscriptions and the co-opera-

until the

rememberthe roads .were simply im-
passable, and any work in securing
the subscriptions -of :farmers was im-
possible. No one would undertake to
solicit stock in the county, but sub-

mittee was enlarged by the addition
of certain well known business men
of town, also from „Exeter and Wing -
ham. Efforts were made to interest
a large firm in Glasgow; canvassers
were put out in the county in May
and June, when unfortunately at that

following spring the directors Were
served with a writ by W. R. Belden,

defended by the directors. The case

of the' company. At this meeting it
was decided to make a call of 6 per
cent, to defray the preliminary ex
penses of promotion and organiza-
tion.
The committee regret that'suc-
cess did not attend their efforts; they
have done a lot of hard work at con-
siderable time and money, and their.
only object was to accrue further 19-

sore at being asked for money to de-

of his allotment, "The poor child has
