A Glance Backward.

The business of manufacturing the Han
over crackers was founded in Hanover, n,
H., in 1915, by aman named Sims, who was
succeeded by Sturtevant & Smith about
1897. They were succeeded by D. X.
Smith, father of Geo. W., about 1850. In
1867 Geo. w. Smith, was admitted into
partnership with his father and moved to
the junction in 1871. From the death OF
his father in 1877 Geo. w. Smith conduct
ed the business alone until 1892, when he
took into co. partnership his son Robert =.
under the firm title of Geo w. Smith "
Son. The factory proper was built III
1871, and the large three story front was
added in 1884. Owing to the increase OF
business an enlargement OF the present
substantial building is necessary, and the
firm expect to commence next spring a
brick extension of the mandatory. AT
present they are putting upa temporary
wooden building on Main street, adjoin-
ing their block, and will use it for storage
purposes until the brickextension is built.

of confectionery as they left the starch ma.

crystalization is carried on in room adj
Joining the candy wrapping and packing

poured over them at such an angle that
the surplus may drain OFT. After one

crystalized goods, by the way, are gener-
ally packed in 5-pound boxes.

it presents combination OF girls and can.

drops that are to be coated with choco'

late that comes in large cakes IS put into
melting tank and thence passes lhto
dipping pan tank in the chocolate-coat-
ing machine, an ingenious piece OF mech

It has an appliance by which nuts may be
inserted in the top of the drops, and there
is also an ice box that cools off the chocco'
lates in a short time after they receive the
coating. The machine works so systemat-
ically that the paper on which the cream
drops are deposited is hardly stained and
may be used at pleasure. Harley McCrll-
lis operates the machine and has filled the

Candy and Confectionery Depart
nnont.

To those who have never witnessed the
manufacture of candy and confectionery
on a large scale the candy room on the
second floor is and attractive place to
visit and in which to watch the conversion
of sugar into nice stick candy and other
forms of candied sweets. To begin, the
sugar is a clear, clean confectioner's sugar
of the same quality as graduated. This
is melted by steam in large, Jacketted
kettle, and when ready for cooking pas
ses by suction into a vacuum pan OF 200
pounds capacity. THIS is really an air
tight cylindrical vessel, close to which Is
a gas jet that lights up, through a bulls
eye, the interior OF the pan. Through an
other bulls eye the man in charge can see
the condition of the cooking mass, and
there is "a testing tube that tel Is about
when the cooked syrup Is ready to be
drawn off The cooking is done by steam
and generally takes about 20 minutes.
While the process is going on in the
vacuum pan, the kettle is filled with sugar
for melting so that no time is lost.
When the batch is sufficiently cooked 1t
is drawn out from the vacuum pan and
poured on iron coolers that are filed with
cold water. If intended for Christmas
candy-which, by the way, is in extra de-
mand lust now-the batch, after piece OF
it has been colored to be worked into the
strips which mark the sticks, is transferr-
ell TO long udUle VI DcHCl oh ~ 10
deftly rolled into long, round sticks or
"ribbons," which afterwards are broken
up into shorter sticks. To keep the batch
! warm enough to handle, it rests near gas
heater with an asbestos reflector while
the drawing out process goes on. To facil-
itate the cooling of the candy every table
| is provided with blowers by which cold
air from the outside can be turned upon
the warm sticks. One of these benches
called drop bench, is used especially for
making cough drops and other varieties,
| and is provided with frame, run by pow
err, in which may he placed rolls OF differ
ent patterns. The soft candy passes
thron gh these power drop frames and is
pressed into shape corresponding with the
pattern. and, like the stick candy, is
quickly cooled by the blowers. This man,

ern New England. When batch, say OF
200 pounds. is run through the rolls, owing
to the cooling system mentioned one half
is ready to break up before the other half
is finished.

This room also contains several stoves
for cooking candy with nuts in it or SINH
lar mixtures that would not readily pass
through the vacuum pan. We notice ma
chine for cutting peanut, horehound ana
other candies into sticks by peculiar ar
rangement of knives which will cut sticks
of different lengths from IL inch to u inch
es. There is not in New England another
machine of precisely the same kind. We
may remark in passing that as only, a
superior grade of sugar is used IN TINS
room, so the various tiavors and coiors are
of Burnett & Co.'S make-the best in the
market The molasses used is all OF stan
dard quality, and that Of which the molas-
ses kisses are made is the kind that retalls
at 60 cents per gallon. So far as purity OF
materials and cleanliness of manufacture
are concerned, we can unhesltatlngly rec
ommend the candies and confectionery
nude by this firm because we nave seen
the whole process from the raw materials
to the finished product.
Young ladies are especially fond OF
cream chocolates, caramels and other con-
fectionery of a creamy nature The sugar
for these does not require TO be cooked as
long as for other sweets. On an elevated
platform in the candy room there are two
cooking is done, 25O pounds in batch.
| From the kettle it runs by gravity to a
cooler containing iron pipes filled with
cold water so that the syrup is cooled at
the center as quickly as on the outside.
When at flesh heat it is passed from the
cooler into cylinder with interlacing,
revolving knives that cut the mass into a
creamy mixture as it passes through and
falls into tubs. 1t is not touched by hands
until rolled away as beaten cream. In
this condition it goes into adepositing ma
chine in which are noulds in corn starch
upon a tray. Through tubes in the ma
chine the creamy mass fills successfully
rows of the moulds until all are full
Each row contains from 10 to II moulds
and two men can cast 1900 lbs. of cream
confectionery in 10 hours. In dry room
over the cracker oven the corn starch fol
moulds and the moulding boards are de
posted until needed. Opposite this room
is another containing a starch cleaning ma
chine. The contents of the mould boards
are dumped into box in which vibra
tor separates the starch from the cream
drops which come out as clean as II the!
had never touched corn starch. If tn
drops are to receive a chocolate coatin
or to be crystalized they pass to othe
rooms for that purpose which we vii
visit later on.
Every morning list OF the differen
varieties of candy and the quantity Of eac
required for the day is laid on desk l
