An intricate process connect— ed with the manufacture of bags is the preparation oi the plates from which the brand designs are printed. The designs are cut into hard rubber and fast- cned to the presses. Hundreds of designs are filed and re- peat orders from customers can be rapidly filled by use of these existing stocks.

The P.F‘..I. Bag Company also supplies paper bags which have come into general use for re- tailing vegetables in various quantities, as weil as smaller

amounts of table stock potatoes. A full stock is also maintained. although not manufactured here.

By the early 19th century St. Eleanor's was a flourishing community. and it's georgraphi-

fertile agricultural area made it one of the most important centres in the western part o: the province.

During the past year building permits represented almost $500. 000 of new construction, com- posed of $240,000 for the munici- pal water system som

ing permits. most of which were residential. and which had I‘ combined value of $260,000. ‘ Industrial and business ex- pansion within the community last year included an extension t Green Acres Motel, which doubled its previous size, and an increase in the Vandell Trailer Court which now contains over 30 residential house trailers. Also during this year Curran‘ and Briggs Ltd. added a new ready»mix concrete plant, to their ‘ construction facilities, and Buell and Mac-Lead opened a new auto sales and service building. while.
