The Worcestershire Article Now Made In
This Country-Extreme Care That 10
Used.
Many years ago. by the favor of a
nobleman residing in the County OF
Worcester, England, Messrs. Lea &
Perrins became possessed of the receipt
for preparing a sauce of exquisite flavor
and pungency This relish was intro
duced to the public under the title of
Worcestershire Sauce, and since then
that name has become well known
throughout the civilized world, the mer-
it's 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 fortles, and
to-day the firm of John Duncan's Sons,
No. 1872 Canal street, is one OF the larg-
est and best known establishments OF
its kind in the world. For years the
Duncans supplied the American market
with Lea & Perrins' Sauce direct from
the factory in England, but recently
they have made new and valuable de-
parture. They have received from the
parent house the original recipe, care
fully guarded secret, and are now man
ufacturing 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. WISH
tors, 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
product as table sauce one could
easily imagine scene that would be
unpleasant to visit. The Duncan es-
tablishment is "spic 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 bot
Ting machine. The empty bottles, hav-
ing been carefully washed, are placed in
a row on a rack and are filled by
means of the silver tubes. When bot
tie is full an automatic arrangement
stops the flow.
This arrangement insures perfect
cleanliness. There is no ladlIng out or
measuring by hand. Everything is
scrupulously clean.
In the corking department the ut
most 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 bot
ties are fine manila paper of special
manufacture. Even the red Irvine
which encircles the neck of the bottle
after it has been wrapped up is made
to order.
The labelling and wrapping is done
by young women, who are neatly dress
ed, and who have the advantage OF
working in large rooms, light and airy.
Practice has made them very skill
full.
The packing and shipping is done on
the lower floors of the factory, while
in the cool cellars are stored great
casks of ingredients.
Thus, it will be seen that every de-
tail in the manufacture of Lea & Per-
rims Worcestershire Sauce is faithful
ly carried out by the Messr5. Duncan,
who, as has been said, have the sole
right to make the genuine sauce for the
American market. The merits of the
sauce are we'll known, and had Socrates
in his day been familiar with them, ne
could never have said that the sauce
for the meat should be the appetite
