Small Caninng Factory at Valparaiso Makes Success.

Valparaiso Vidette. J. W. Thurman, residing on the western limits of the city, stated today that he had just loaded 28,000 pouilds of canned tomatoes in a car for shipment to W. M. Hoyt & Co., 1 wholesale grocers of Chicago. It is the output of his canning factory last year, and the success attained has prompted him to increase in capacity this season to 10,000 cans a day. He has already purchased the extra machinery and has announced that string beans will be canned this year as well as tomatoes. Eight acres on his farm will be set to the latter vegetable.
