Excerpt from Canned Foods: How to Buy, How to Sell, Statistical and Practical Information About the Canning Industry Several years ago I began to write and manifold a series of lectures for the information of about one hundred traveling and city salesmen employed by a large wholesale grocery house. For this house I was then a department manager and buyer. Some copies of these lectures were sent to personal friends. Soon requests for the series began to be received from them and their friends. I then printed on a multigraph several hundred sets of the series and distributed them to those wholesale grocers who subscribed for them. Apparently this did not satisfy the demand, as, since then, I have had numerous requests for the series and suggestions that they be published in book form at a more popular price. These suggestions I concluded to adopt, hence this book. The book contains much more matter - and more valuable matter - than the series of lectures, for I have broadened my investigations and added to my experience since the lectures were first written. That in the lectures which seemed good I have revised carefully in the light of my wider experience. I have also added to the book statistical and practical information-such information as I at times have greatly needed, and which I had much difficulty in securing and keeping convenient for reference in a compact form. I have not attempted to write a scientific book, as it is not intended to teach manufacturers how to prepare canned foods. It is intended, however, to inform canners how their products are marketed and distributed and what qualities are desirable and salable.
