Sauces and Provisions
Sauces and Provisions.
The tomato sauce made at Winchester by Mr. J. A. Young must not be overlooked, and Mr. Knowsley, of "Pain Destroyer" fame, has taken care that his productions should not be overlooked either, if a goodly-sized pile of bottles of that specific can prevent it. Mr. Munnings' jams have won tor themselves a good name, and a passing look at his effectively arranged pile of jars and bottles is, therefore, all that is necessary. We are now at the western side of the central promenade, and the first object to attract one's attention on proceeding along the table on our right hand is the fine dispaly of pickles, sauces, and preserved fruits from the factory of Messrs. Dallas and Co. (late the Maclean Fickle Company). Like many other exhibits, they are too well known to need commendation. A neat little case on the same table should be irresistibly attractive to the juvenile visitors, for it contains specimens of Mr. D. H. Christie's lollies, well-made and wholesome-looking. An even smaller case, adjoining, is filled with biscuits from the factory of Messrs. Anlsebrook Brothers, of Sydenham. Of their quality, as of that of the lollies, the visitor can only judge by look, unless, indeed, he chooses to encourage local industry by extending his patronage to the manufacturera. A sheaf of corn on this table is part of Mr. E. H. Banks' instructive exhibit which comprises, in addition samples of pearl barley, peas, and linseed, very nicely prepared.
