6ZEAT DISPLAYJADE ‘
BY OiXIEVINEGAR WORKS
Tfieir Booth at Pure Food
Show One of the Most In
teresting in the Building,
The display of Dljle vinegar, both
apple and distilled, which Is being
at the pure food show. Is one wl
proving of Intense Interest to all who
visit the show. There Is possibly no
better or favorably known vinegar In
this section than the Dixie brands,
which Is made right here In Atlanta by
the Dixie Vinegar Works. 364-6-8 Ma-
rletta-st. For more than twenty-five
years this factory has produced and
■old absolutely pure vinegar only, un
til within three years ago they made
distilled vinegar only, the kind which
was known prior to the pure food act
as white wine vinegar. There exists In
the minds of many people an Impres
sion that distilled vinegar Is a chemi
cal product solely, but such Is not the
case. Pure distilled vinegar as pro
duced by the Dixie Vinegar Works Is
absolutely non-cbemlcal, being a direct
product of pure Georgia cane syrup.
Pure apple vinegar, as produced by this
factory. Is nothing more than the dis
tilled Juice of red-cheeked apples,
ground at this factory every day In the
year.
The public Is cordially Invited to stop
at this booth when they visit the show
and get acquainted with Atlanta-made
vinegar; try the samples of pure apple
elder and vinegars which are being
used; then. If you wish, visit the facto
ry. Mr. B. A. Hancock, the proprie
tor. extends a hearty welcome and the
freedom of his plant to any who wish
to see Just how pure vinegars and ci
ders are made.
The J. Hungerford Smith Company, Rochester, N. Y., have a very beautiful
display of delicious fruits and other soda fount requisites. The number of beautiful
fruit pictures that they have tastefully arranged makes a very pretty effect. .
Mr. J. L. Sutton, who has charge of their display, informs us that the object
of their exhibit is to demonstrate through the Southern Soda Company what a lot
of jiew ice cream flavors they intend putting on'the, market in the near future. By
the aid of a new process, made possible by a machine of Mr. Smith’s invention, that
enables them to seal fruits in an almost perfect vacuum, they can put up the fresh
juice from any fruit or berry and retain this perfect flavor almost' indefinitely. As
an illustration, they take a strawberry that is grown under contract to be delivered
to them in perfect condition, put these under hydraulic pressure, press out the juice,
sterilize the pidp and add a small percentage of this pulp back to the juice. The
natural flavor is thus restored to the pulp. This product is then sealed as above de
scribed, and you have a flavor that can not be excelled. By this process you are en
abled-to have a perfect fruit flavored cream or sherbet at any season Of the year.
They,anticipate putting out quite a line of these juices, or, as they term them,
FRUIT PUREES, such as Peach, Pineapple, Maraschino Cherry, etc. In their dem
onstration they will serve the diffei’ent flavors from time to time at their booth.
“No benzoate of soda or any chemical whatever is used in the manufacture of
their goods.”
The Southern Soda W.ater Company, who are working in connection with
the J. Hungerford Smith Company, wish to show the people of Atlanta and vicin
ity the class of goods they are turning out in ice creams and sherbets for hotel,
family and fountain use.* They expect,to use largely a line of flavors put up by the
J. Hungerford Smith people and liav* facilities for handling any orders on short
notice, it matters not how large. They will be prepared to furnish their customers
with the very finest flavors at any season of the year. They respectfully solicit your
patronage. * «•..
