Throughout the Manufacture of this justly celebrated brand of Table Waters all ingre- dients used are guaranteed of purest quality. The machinery used is the most modern type and we have gone to great expense to erect our plant on late scientific principles which has such a great advantage over the old process of manual labour still in vogue through the Colony, thereby further ensuring the purity of our products.
The Manufactory is under the personal supervision of a QUALIFIED ENGLISH CHEMIST, who has devoted years to bring this branch of the trade to perfection.
