Written on back: Oct. 27, 1926 Dear Friend: We visited their food plant and saw them making corn flakes and the boxes which they used. They have 100 acres covered with buildings & an athletic field. They use 15,000 bu. of white corn daily. They employ 2,000 workers and ship 60 carloads of corn products daily. I am feeling fine. M. D. Watson
