Today's
Feature
Ribbon Cutting
for Schwan’s.
News release.
A Carthage Chamber Ribbon
Cutting ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday,
July 7 at 5627 S. Garrison Ave. for Schwan’s
Home Service, a unit of The Schwan Food Company
which will open a $1.6 million sales,
distribution and regional training center in
Carthage.
Hart Electric Inc., of
Matthews, Missouri, is serving as general
contractor for the project. The 8,500 square foot
facility will support 10 Schwan’s delivery
trucks.
The 17 employees of the depot
deliver Schwan’sŪ fine frozen foods within
a 75-mile radius of Carthage and surrounding
communities such as Joplin and Mount Vernon. The
new structure will replace the current depot,
located in Mount Vernon for 33 years.
"Our investment is a
reflection of the growth in our business and our
commitment to our loyal customers," said
Schwan President and CEO Lenny Pippin.
The Schwan Food Company plans
to invest roughly $230 million in 2005, building
new depots, upgrading manufacturing plants and
enhancing its fleet of propane-powered delivery
trucks.

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin'It’s always handy ta have a few
nails around the house. Ya never know when ya
might want ta hang a picture or fasten that porch
rail. I feel comfortable with the old fashioned
eight penny for nailin’ to 2x4’s and a
couple of finishin’ nails for trim work.
Having a few sixteen penny spikes comes in handy
for those heavier repairs or light construction.
Now I’ve had ta add a new dimension to my
collection, a variety of fasteners for my battery
powered screw driver.
Havin’ a few tools and
gadgets around in case of emergency was just part
of my upbringin’ I suppose. I’d have ta
guess that it comes from a heritage of rural
“root cellar” dependant ancestors.
‘Course such thinkin’ can lead to just
havin’ a lot of useless junk ya have ta trip
over. At least if ya got a few nails and a little
lumber, you can build a box to keep it all in.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Here's A Tip
By JoAnn Derson• Going on a road trip this summer?
Check your tire pressure to save money.
Maintaining the correct tire pressure can have a
direct effect on how many miles you get to the
gallon. It can save you in everyday driving, but
it really adds up when traveling longer
distances. Check your car’s manual for the
correct pressure. Some cars also have a sticker
in the doorwell or glove box with that
information.
• “To get out mildew
stains, pretreat the stained area and launder in
the hottest water possible for the fabric. Then
let the item dry in the sun.” -- P.L. in
Georgia
• “To limit TV time
for our kids, we let them look at the Sunday TV
guide and pick a certain amount of shows they
want to watch. Since most shows are a half-hour
and they are picking for the entire week, the
number looks big, but in reality, it amounts to
only a little more than an hour of television a
day.” -- T.K. in Illinois
• Did you know that honey
has antibacterial properties? Try rubbing a bit
of it over a small cut for faster, more natural
healing.
