The new plant will be located in the center of the city of Roseburg along the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. Seventy per cent of the stock of the concern is now owned by farmers near Roseburg and last year it did a" business in the neighborhood of §200,000. According to an item in Western Advertis- ing Libby-McNeil & Libby has purchased the Hinckley-Beach cannery at Burbank, Calif. This cannery was the first institution of its kind to locate in the San Fernando valley town. The Hood River Glacier says that the Hood River Canning Co., one of the most unique concerns in the country, in that it aims to pack a product of super-excellent quality, has doubled its capacity. The season's run on strawberries, cherries and pears resulted in a total pack of 193,000 cans. A total of 280,000 cans of the valley's best grade of apples will be packed. The canning company's payroll for the year's run will approach .?40,000. An extensive national campaign has been started by the National Canners" association to increase the consumption of canned fruits and foods and to show that the generally accepted idea that canned goods cause ptomaine poison- ing is erroneous. National weeklies, women's magazines, agricultural journals, trade papers and medical and hospital magazines will be used in addition to the newspapers. A four year campaign is planned according to a state- ment in Judicious Advertising and the asso- ciation will spend 8500,000. The Puyallup and Sumner Fruit Growers' Canning company of Puyallup, Wash., is to spend §100,000 during 1920 to advertise "Paul's Jams,"
