Decatur merchants will get some idea of the place of Soya’s payroll in the economy of the community when the 500 employees make their normal weekly purchase* Ton of Silver Distribution of nearly a ton of silver got underway at the feed mill at 1 p.m. The Fort Wayne National Bank obtained the silver dollars from the reserve bank in Chicago. A Brink’s, Inc., armored car delivered the silver to the plant and provided protection dur* ing the payoff period. For those interested in touring the plant, the dedication of the beautiful new office building will be from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Harold W. McMillen, chairman of the board, will make the address. Plant Tonrs, 1:30-5:00 Plant tours will be made from 1:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. and refreshments will be included. A huge number of people are expected to be present. Just 25 years ago the Central Soya company started up as a pari of the old Central Sugar company; at the start only a few small silos and a press were uesd. The com* pany skyrocketed to prominence using soybean meal as the basic ingredient in feed for animals, as well as selling the oil obtained from the beans. Soybeans now represent the largest cash crop 'investment by Adams county and by most northern Indiana farmers. 1 Qtige two) * *
