Our mothers demanded relief from these countless hours of kitchen drudgery. So, American business put its resources to work: The result, as everyone knows, was a revolution in housekeeping.
It really began when the American Can Company perfected the modem tin can. Constant improvement in design and manufacture of containers made it possible to put foods and beverages of every kind on your table, regardless of season.
For the modem wife and mother the can has made simpler and shorter the job of feeding her family. Best of all, she has many more hours to relax and enjoy herself. Many other good things come from can-making and can-using activities. Thousands of well-paid jobs—many of them right here in Virginia—have been created. Farmers have found a stable market and higher prices for their larger, better crops. Whole new businesses have been able to *et started.
Your desire for more and more hours of leisure is one of the incentives that make the 35,000 people of Canco strive so hard to help you take it easier than Grandma. Constantly satisfying your needs is a big part of what businesses such as ours do to help make America a wonderful country to live and work and relax in.
