Colorado's Small Town Industrial Revolution is a study in three parts. Part one traced the origin, evolution, and demise of commercial food canning and preserving in northeastern Colorado. This volume, parts two and three, examines, respectively, the same topic in the lower Arkansas Valley, from Canon City to Holly, and the western slope, with emphasis on Delta and Mesa Counties. The industry had its origin as a means of utilizing fruit that was too ripe to ship to local and regional markets. Evaporators were adopted to dehydrate fruit for future consumption, and a hot-pack method preserving fruit for the same purpose. Dehydrators, in addition to canneries, were popular on the western slope, but were not employed in the Arkansas Valley.
