CAN IT!
I suppose my title is a bit misleading since
it's really about jars rather than cans, You see
November 30th is "National Mason Jar Day!"
People have been finding ways to preserve
food for years but the process was revolutionized
forever when John Landis Mason received his
patent for a glass jar with a rubber ring and a
screw on top. That was November 30th of 1858.
The Mason jar has enabled people to preserve
food. It's need used as a handy storage unit for
everything from buttons to loose coins. And
the Mason jar proved a double edged benefit
for an industry in the Appalachian mountains
where they "bottled" and drank "White lighting
from those trusty containers. Today we're
preserving the heritage of the Mason jar!
Hope you're well and that all your NEWS
is good!
