Care That Is Used.

Made in This COuntry-Extremc
Care That Is Used.
Many years ago, by the favor of noble
man residing in the County of Worcester
England, Messrs. Lea & Perrins becam
possessed of the receipt for preparing q
sauce of exquisite flavor and pungency
This relish was introduced to the publ,
| under the title of Worcestershire Sauce
| and since then that name has become wei
known throughout the civilized world, the
merits of the sauce easily establishing the
popularity of the article.
Lea & Perrins' Worcestershire Sauce
was first introduced into America by John
Duncan in the early 40s, and to-day the
firm of John Duncans Sons, No. 1872 Canal
street is one of the largest and best-known
establishments of its kind in the world.
For years the Duncans supplied the Ameri-
can market with Lea & Perrins' Sauce
direct from the factory in England but
recently they have made a new and Valu-
able departure. They have received from
the parent house the original recipe. a
carefully guarded secret and are now
manufacturing Lea & Perrins Worcester
shire Sauce in their own establishment
which is one of the model factories of
New York.
The factory on Canal street extends
through to York street, and is an eight
story building of recent construction and
with modern appointments. Visitors, who
are welcome at all hours, are impressed
above all with the absolute neatness Of
every department. In the manufacture
in large quantities OF such a product as
table sauce one could easily imagine a
scene that would be unpleasant to visit
The Duncan establishment is "spick and
span from top to bottom.
In the bottling department the liquid is
brought from casks on the floor above
through silver tubes to the bott.ing ma
chine. The empty bottles. having been
carefully washed, are placed in row on
a rack and are filed by means of the sill
Yer tubes. When a bottle is fun an au-
tomato arrangement stops the flow
This arrangement insures perfect clean
liness There is no ladling out or measur-
ing by hand. Everything is scrupulously
clean.
In the corking department the utmost
care is observed. The cOrks are specially
imported for the purpose. and, like the
bottles are of the very best material. The
wrappers for the bottles are fine manila
paper of special manufacture Even the
red Irvine which encrcles the neck OF the
bottle after 1t has been wrapped up is
made TO order.
The labelling and wrapping is done by
young women who are neatly dressed, and
who have the advantage of working in
large rooms, light and airy. Practice has
made them very sk.Iful
The packing and shipping is done on the
lower floors of the factory, while in the
cool cellars are stored great casks Of in
gradients.
Thus, II Will be seen that every detail IN
the manufacture of Leo G, Perrns Wor-
cestersh,re Snuce is faithfully carried out
by the Messrs. Duncan, who, as has been
said. have the sole eight 70 make the geuu-
inc sauce for Che American market The
merits OF the sauce are well known, and
had Socrates in his day been familiar with
them, he could never have said thai the
sauce for the meat should be the apYe-
