Berry with
Three
Different Flavors

In Jamaica grows a berry that
tastes like cinnamon, cloves and
nutmeg. When the natives OF that
island discovered this berry, being
unable to decide on which spice il
tasted most like. they compro-
missed the matter by calling il ALI
SPICE" That is where allspice got
It's name.
Ailspice IS grown in other places,
but the Island where il was first
discovered and which named il.
still produces the best allspioe-for
that reason all White Swan ALI
spice is Jamaica Ailspice.
Now inasmuch as il Is a certain
oil in the berry which gives il its
favor, or rather its three havors,
the drying and grinding and pack
ing Of the berry must be very,
very carefully handled so as not
10 let that oil be lost BY evapora-
tion. In the matter OF White
Swan Allspice the greatest care is
taken to retain every drop OF oili-
sess-the grinding is done BY our

Is packed in air-tight tins which
