At the present time Mr.. Harrington
Is equipping a building for a vinegar

from that source also.
Mr.. Harrington has equipped his
plant. which was formerly the Levy &

a series Of copper kettles are used. the
juice pouring into the kettles Is cooked

for each boiling. The grapes are pressed
in hydraulic presses under 2,i00 pounds

juice from them. The juice is boiled
and strained a number OF times.
