Looking from the northwest across Bremer Ave. Marshall Canning Co. in 1930s. Painted on the shed wall [far left] is 'Jack Sprat.' The cannery contracted for bean, corn, etc. and sold cans under the Jack Sprat label. In 1926 the five-line plant was the biggest in Iowa. Waverly Democrat; 9 September 1926 The cannery changed names in 1957 to Monarch Foods and closed a year later.
