The Making of Perfun1ery
BY FREDERIC j. HASKTN
BY FREDERIC j. HASKIN.

About ten years ago some enterprising
American did some figuring and discov-
cred that the country was importing over
s2.0O0000 worth Of perfumery every year
1t was then decided to see what the
United states could do toward making
Its own perfumes, not only TO save the
A,000OO, but TO make possible other mil
lions besides. A careful investigation was
made, climatic and geographical condl-
tions were studied, and a census was
taken Of all the indigenous plants and OF
those that could be introduced, TO see
what could be expected of them.
The report on the possibilities Of this
new Industry In America was exceedingly
cheerful and encouraging. but little has
been done to verify the investigators
faith in such project The only impor-
tant essence made in the United States is
oil Of peppermint manufactured at the
rate Of about 10000 pounds a year. an
amount that equals just half Japans out
put Other oils made in small quantities
are wormwood, wintergreen, spruce, and
witch hazel, the value being about $780,
600 year, which is only one-twelfth the
value Of the manufacture Of the same
articles In the little town OF Grasse, the
perfume center Of Southeast France,
where l0,000000,OO0 pounds Of flowers are
converted into extracts and essences every
summer.
