Reflecting the progressive policy of this company, the Baxter Canning Co. is building a cafeteria for use of their employees.

This is a structure separated from the main factory, being located just across the road. It is a one-storey building of cement hollow block construction 70 by 28 feet, and has a seating capacity of between three and four hundred persons. It includes rest rooms for men and women, complete with comfortable furnishings, a combination radio and record player, papers and magazines.

The factory formerly operated its cafeteria in the second storey of the main plant. It proved very popular. A separate building will be all the more popular since it will permit employees to get away from work surroundings.

Just how the Baxter’s do it, we don’t know, but the full-course dinners are only 30 cents each and supper Is just 25 cents. One reason is that meals are standardized and waste Is eliminated. There is a set menu for each day. Those planning to eat there are required to leave their names on the record sheet, in the mornings.

Two cooks prepare the meal, with additional help from 11 a.m. on. The food is served cafeteria style. There are collapsible tables and these can be cleared away to make a homey-like recreation centre.

In fact, it would not surprise the writer if Mr. Ed. Baxter and son Don do not have quite a time keeping it for the benefit of their employees only. It is so ideal for community events. The village hall is inadequate for this thriving little town. Employees of the Baxter factory are happy workers, enjoying ideal surroundings at work, and now are being provided with an ideal centre for off hours.
