THIS LETTER MADE US BUY
Mr. A. Polet, Nome, Alaska.
Dear Sir:—We have studied tho Commercial business of Alas
ka as thoroughtly as possible from this distance, to see what
products it would be avisabie to pack of which we have an
abundance, and yet hard to get io you in its natural state.
We are about the largest handlers of Poultry, Eggs a:.d But
ters west of the Rockies, and there is no reason in cur mind,
why wo should not get in touch with you direct.
Meeting with a great deal of difficulty in securing refr-'gator
space for dressed poultry, we hit on the novel idea cf Canning
the fresh killed chickens. ,
Wo gather the livo chickens at our Poultry and Egg buying
stations at Petaluma, and after being milk fed they are kil- {
led and dressed.
The chickens is then cut in four parts and put in cans, and
cooked under a process which rotains its fine fresh flavor. We
pack a complete half chicken in the 1 1-2 lbs. cans, and a oem
pleto \yholo chicken in the 3 lbs. cans, bone and all.
Wo r.ro also putting out a superior Chicken Soup with Rice,
which in our estimation, is above reproach.
Our prices are as follows:
CHICKEN. No. 1 1-2 lbs. cans, per dozen $8.25, per can 75c.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE. Per doz. $1.50, per can 15c.
A. Polet
way of least resistance and if we
follow that way we cannot win the
war. Tho horrors and suffering
of women and children in Flanders
Northern France, and Italy, Po
land, Serbia will bo repeated in
America, destruction wrought by
Vesuvius and Mount Pelee are a
thousand times preferable to the
tortures administered in the name
of Prussianism. This seventy five
million bushels of wheat must
como from Kitchens of our land,
your own kitchens it will come
only if you women gi\e to the pro
blem of saving wheat your thought
full earnest patient endeavor. You.
may be working in Red Cross,
have sent husband, son, brother,
to the front, bought Liberty Bonds
with savings, those are splendid
but you haven’t done with fight,
this is a day of infinite care pain
staking, this is your own personal
problem, if your time is occupied
with other activities discontinue
some now and turn your thoughts

Let ns estimate on /our .lob Wort
to saving food in the kitchen, if
you are saving food now, save still
more, food, it does not matter
what friends or neighbors do, you
are responsible for your own kit
chen and food. You and your fa
mily eat. Your other activities
useless wasted if you don’t save
food. Do you care for those who
have gone out to fight, then dont
sacrifice them to satisfy families
palate or that you may have time
for something else today and until
the end of the war this is
primarily important work whether
you work in your kitchen ot some
one works for you. Your great
grandmothers sacrificed everything
that our country might be born,
liberty exist. You are called
upon to give of your time and your
thoughts to this problem. You are
not asked to sacrifice more, you
have no hardships to undergo,
surely you can do this by saving
wheat you are saving the world
and the world needs wheat and
your effort now as never before.
