"Essex Tomato Shipments Break Records," Border Cities Star. August 15, 1933. Page 5.
-----
RECORDS for the late shipment of the early tomato crop are being made this year in Essex County. Shown above is a typical shipment ready to go forward to Toronto and other city markets. The market has held up well, and a fair price is being obtained. The crop will be just about finished this week. Late tomatoes go mostly for cannery use, but some will be sent to market. At present Leamington is shipping from three to four carloads a day of tomatoes.

✨Seaside sea-renity on the summer solstice ✨
Gliding by the light, these pelicans shore are enjoying that extra sunlight.
You can often spot brown pelicans soaring just above the sea surface or sitting on breakwaters, jetties, and wharf pilings around the bay.
Stay fly and sea-labrate summer’s spectacular day in style with our peli-pals!

"Someone Just Volunteered" screenshot breakdown
Since everybody liked my last screenshot analysis of Silco, let's jump all the way back to our first glimpse at Crime Dad alongside Dr. Malpractice
The experiment's end result:
He looks like he finds it rather unpleasant, hm? Despite being a violent and ruthless man, he doesn't seem to take well to expected deaths in a closed, scientific environment.
Initial surprise at the outcome, then with his darting eyes, I'd argue horror and analysis of the information/results
He startles ever so slightly when Singed asks if he has a subject in mind, almost negligible in movement. His shoulder raise slightly, his expression slides from shocked to pensive as he considers his options.
And when he figured out the volunteer?
Ugh, that smirk!
And this is all over the course of 9 seconds!
I love this show. Also these men are horrible, and tbh good for them.

“Says Women Carried Chip,” Windsor Star. October 9, 1942. Page 15.
----
Critics of Canning Plant Conditions Called "Thin-Skinned”
----
John Carr, a timekeeper of the Parke Davis organization, who shepherded 65 girls from his plant to the Stokely-Van Camp cannery in Essex during the recent crop crisis, thinks Windsor women are "thin skinned" when they complain about working conditions in the plant.
"What did they expect" he asks, in a statement given The Windsor Star today, "that they could work in a tomato-canning plant in their fancy clothes. Some of these people never did a day’s work in their lives, most likely."
DRESSED IN SUNDAY BEST
He referred to the Local Council of Women, the Border Council of Home and School Clubs and the I.O.D.E. chapters whose members expressed amazement at the conditions they found In the plant after volunteering to peel tomatoes.
Mr. Carr insists that the 65 girls he took several nights a week to me cannery, all were perfectly well satisfied with what they saw and the conditions under which they worked.
"We had a grand time and lots of fun," he said. 'Nobody was expecting high class furnishings and air conditioning in a cannery. Some of the other chronic complainers must have had the wrong idea when they went to Essex.
"I saw some of them on the buses, dressed in their fur coats and their Sunday best. What did they expect when they got there? A place where they could sit around and enjoy themselves?"
ALL GIRLS SATISFIED
Mr. Carr gave it as his opinion that many of the women who went to Essex "carried a chip on their shoulders." The work they did, he said would do them a "lot nobody would be harmed.”
He said he personally checked with every girl he took down from his plant and they all agreed they were perfectly satisfied with the conditions and the six cents a pail they were paid for peeling tomatoes.
Mr. Carr said he had seen complaints from other women's groups, but that all of them were under the wrong impression. He argued mat the canning industry is a seasonal one and for that reason cannot hope to attract the usual type of unemployed to its plants. Its conditions of work and its wages are all scaled accordingly, he said.
