...plant permitted Rogers to claim that he is now the biggest canner of soda pop, bigger even than ex-Pepsi-Cola Boss Walter S. Mack Jr.'s Cantrell & Cochrane Corp. (TIME, April 27, 1953). Whether first or not, Rogers and his sales-minded son Robert, 32, in less than a year have converted a failing brewery (inherited by Allan's wife) into a company turning out 44,600 cases of pop a day from plants in Compton, Peoria, Ill. and Sheridan, Wyo. To meet the demand, the Rogerses are still expanding, with franchised plants planned for Hutchinson, Kans...
Beautiful Chart.

Tillie chose this poor time to launch another venture-a Texas company to import and can Mexican pineapples. Tex-Mex went bust, and Tillie says she lost...

...part of the frightening food situation which last week had all Washington and half the U.S. in a dither (see p. 11), U.S. food packers gave one hard & fast reason: Government buyers are snapping up canned goods as if they expected every canner to close shop tomorrow. Last year the Government bought 75,000,000 cases of canned fruits and vegetables, a walloping 31% of the biggest pack on record. This year's buying schedules are bigger still-140,000,000 cases, over one-half the total pack...
