Putting the small jam can in the can opener, which was invented by Capt. S. Mitchell, of the American Red Cross, and dedicated to the Red Cross canteen girls in Tours. After seeing countless cut fingers and much time and energy wasted in opening jam cans for the canteen's daily output of sandwiches in Tours, Capt. S.A. Mitchell, manager of the American Red Cross store decided something ought to be done about it. With some experimenting he succeeded in perfecting a practical can opener, and dedicated it to the girls of the Red Cross canteen. And only the girls themselves can tell what an endless amount of time and strength, to say nothing of temper, that can opener saved them. They could make hundreds of jam sandwiches for their kahki customers in almost no time after this can opener came into existence. It is a heavy wooden frame with metal clamps, which hold the can of jam or "confiture" in place. A gentle turn of the wrist, requiring almost no pressure, manipulates a blade which operates in a circle. The entire top of the can is then eaten without any of the fearful jagged edges which are so dangerous. The can opener can be hold steady by screwing it down to the table and makes a part of the permanent and stationary equipment of any kitchen. Today it is reposing in the American Red Cross museum, in Washington, D.C. among other cherished war relics September 1920 [date received]
