There is not village in the United States
whore the Wells & Richardson company is
not known.
And the demand for their lactated food
has been 80 widespread that it has led them
to establish branches in foreign countries.
A large and prosperous business is done by
their branch house at Montreal.
From their London branch lactated food
is sent to all parts of the world, large
trade being done in southern Africa and in
India, and an Australian branch is located
at Sydney, N. s. W..
From their central offices in Burlington,
VT, they send their pare food almost every
where that the sun shines, to gladden. the
hearts of those who are blessed with chill
dren. 1t was Longfellow who said:
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said,
For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead
And visit to the big establishment in
Burlington, where, as the hot weather APP
proaches aud infant troubles multiply,
every effort Is made to supply the increased
demand TO, lactated food, gives one the
impression that the employers and employ
ed are in full sympathy with the parents
who are their customers. The working
force of the company numbers 2OO men
and girls, saying nothing of nearly 100
others in outside employments whose serv-
ices are constantly required. And there Is
singular air of contentedress about them.
The friendliest relations exist between the
company and the employees. They have
their Saturday half holidays; the buildings
are models of arrangement, neat, light and
airy, and as convenient as can be made,
and no one seems to feel that he Is doing
any drudgery. It is place where willing
hands find plenty to do.
It was no longer ago than 1885 that the
company first became interested in the
manufacture of sugar of milk, which is the
basis of the infants natural food. The
company showed it's enterprise In locating
its cooperating establishment for the max
ing of this sugar in Illinois, where suf6-
Gent supply of pure milk could best be
found. Preceding the year 1885 sugar OF
milk had been made exclusively in Europe
and although many attempts had been
made in this country to manufacture II
from the whey of orr cheese factories
every attempt had met with disastrous
failure, and much money had been lost
Undeterred by other failures, however, i
was determined, with the assistance O.
Prof. Sabin of the University of Vermont
to enter upon the trial of new process
This proved very successful, and for sew
eral years large quantities of this articl,
have been manufactured.
Under the advice of some of the bes
medical authorities in the country the firm
embarked in the manufacture of q food fol
infants and invaiids, of which this pur.
American milk sugar should be the basis
and again professor in Vermont's famous
university became interested, and has from
frat to last had direct supervision of tn
food.
This is called lactated food, and has be
come invaluable for the nutrition of in
fants and invalids.
