THOSE GOOD PEAS by PRISCILLA BURGERS

This relief of a group of peas, along with the slogan "Those Good Peas" graces the top of the Morgan Canning Company building in the town of Smithfield, Utah.

For the years that the company was in business, it produced quality canned vegetables and fruits that were shipped all over the country and helped build a reputation for the quality of Utah's canned products.
