From the September 9, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"With every effort being made to can the tremendous amount of corn and beans growing in this vicinity, extra help is urgently needed at the DeKalb plant of the California Packing Corporation.
"Forty women are required at the present time to assist in the canning of beans and corn, which will last another four weeks. The work is similar to that in a home kitchen, but is essential as the more food that is canned at the DeKalb plant during the present pack, the more will be available during the winter months on the shelves of the grocery stores."
