Park Rapids Canning Factory
February 23, 2012 by Hubbard County Historical Museum Director
This is an article from the Newspaper in 1912.
Park Rapids Canning Factory O.L. Davis prop.
I have for sale in case lots, from this years crop several thousand cans of the finest grades of
BEANS CORN PUMPKIN BLUEBERRIES
You can save money by buying your canned goods in case lots and I can give you a local product that for quality and flavor is unequaled. If interested please call or visit the Factory.
*********
After finding this article I wondered: Where was this Canning Factory located? And where have all the blueberries gone? I know that there are blueberries up near Lake George and over by Badoura..and last weeks photo was of the Native Americans lining up to pick blueberries along The Government Trail. If anyone has knowledge to share please leave a comment.
