Reported for the Boston Sunday Globe. . New Haven, Coxy., Feb. 5.—The readers of the Globe, and especially those who may peruse this article, are entitled to an explanatory preface, setting forth the cause of its appearance. For several months past it has been known by mem- bers of the staff that some developments of a character calculated to engage public attention were to be expected from the neighborhood of Kilby street, Boston. The ffatl became platner— to employ western frontier parlance—and the evi- dence of progress apparently culminated recently when the parties to this enterprise moved into the commodious and imposing oMices in the Mason building. Anticipating a rich batch of facts, a reporter was accordingly sent to the quarters above men- tioned. No difilculty was encountered upon the threshold, the offices visited being situated on the ground floor, and the several officers of the col Poration being found within. Nevertheless, this Teport could not be completed In Boston. Without further explanation, the reasons therefor may be summarized. The visit alluded to above was made to the offlees of the Humiston Food Preserving Company, an organization, or corporation, over which Mr. J. Willard Rice wields the trident of authority, being no less a functus officio than the president of the same. The readers of The Globe will scarcely need to be refreshed as to Mr. Rice’s history, Suffice It to say, then, that hes the brother of ex-Governor Rice, of Massachusetts, and the head of the well- known paper house of Rice, Kendall & Co., doing busine -§ on Federal street. Any one of the hun- dreds whoenjoy Mr. Rice’s acquaintance will at onee say upon reading this annoacement, “If Mr. J. Willard Rice has lent his name to the further- ance and popularizing of any project or business then I am certain that there is merit in 1t.” And $0, Indeed, there Is, reader. The writer met Mr. Rice, Dr. R. C._ Flower, secretary and ,treas- urer, and Professor R. F. Huniston, after whiom,as the discoverer of the anticeptic, the company has been in part christened. ‘These gentlemen reca- pitulated their grounds for the claims set up, that, Professor Humiston’s antiseptics would and had saved meats, cream, fish, ete., from decomposition, and that, too, fora period varying all the way from thirty ro ninety days, and even longer. Further than this, evidence corroborative of these claims was adduced. The writer was told that Mr. Harvey D. Parker, of the well-kaown Parker house, Boston, knew ‘something about the merits of these Humiston antiseptics, particularly as to thelr ability to preserve cream. Such gilt- Iged, koh-I-noor testimony, so to speak, as this Was not to be passed by without investigation. Moreover, the reporter’s Instructions were to sift all the tangible evidence for and against the claimants. Just here it 1s proper to remark that the article which appeared in the last Sunday Glode was a forerunner on our part to this pln oF report. Not that the proprietors anticipated any hitch in the unravelling of the testimony bearing upon this matter. Abundance of cumulative evidence already on hand. The Globe, as its custom ever has been, kept its counsel, watched, waited and perfected its plan for being’ the pioneer In break- Ing tue announcement of this discovery to the public, But, to return to the matter of testimony. Mr. Edward Burnett, proprietor of the celebrated and deservedly popular Deeifoot farm, located near Boston, was also brought to the front as a witnes in favor of Prot. Humiston’s antiseptics. Mr. Bu nett, as every Bostontan may be expected to know, 4s a’ son of the well-known Dr. Joseph Burnett, whose flavoring extracts, etc., have been so long before the public. Mr. Burnett 1s also closely re- lated to our iinister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to the Court of St. James, England, s. Rice, Flower and Humiston had by this time not exNausted their array of testimony. Shippers of pork, mutton, beer, etc., many proml- nent—some of them Uke Mr. Andrews, the mo: prominent in potut of age and confidence of their forty years’ customer: Boston meat dealers, were offered as being living and willing witnesses as to the proof of the claims offered in behalf of the curative properties and characteristics of these antiseptics. The list certainly presented the merit upon its face of being both a long one, as well, also, as compristug well krown public and private eltizens, whose testimony, of whatever nature 1t might turn out to be, would possess weight in the estimation of the pubite at large. For the purposes of this report, however, a gen- eral synopsis of the statements given by these friends of the ne discovery will be suMicient. ‘The cold steel of evidenc lerscood to fortn the animus of this rep: » reader must Graw bis own deductions, after weighing this evi- lence. Mr. Harvey D. Parker then was seen, and he signed his name toa statement, the substance of wiilch {s that Le had used cream, treated with this anti: to Europe last summer, "This er and tasted as n. tural at the conclusion of the voyage ason the first day It was tasted. A stronger point yet that this ere: im betrayed no evidence of the not even to Mr. ‘Ss it as this alone wouid seem to be a genuine bonanza to the owners of a compound Which could accompiish such a result Further and even yet stronger proot was in store for the astonlshed writer, Mr. Ed. Burnett was next visited, and, as our well-informed and valued contemporary, the New Haven Journal and Courier, apuly remarked one gay last week in its reference to a branch of this Feport: “Mr. Burnett, {t 1s proper to remark, 1s understood to have ho personal interest in this whole matter further than to subserve or curry ont the wishes of Mr. Rice and his friends (a state ment which Mr. Burnett corroborated to the writer.) It would, however, seem to be but astm le act of justice to say that Mr. Burnett uses, ane used, ever since the results obtulned by these experiments at his farm, this antiseptic. His friends and business acquaintances affirm that he authorizes the public statement that ail his sau- sages and cream are tre.:ted by this same antsep- tie that was used in the experiments for Mr. Rice. ‘The customers or patrons ot the Deerfoot farm are understood to be willing and do pay two price for all goods purchased there. They inay also be expected to demand excellence of quality, and no taste of any forelzn substances, all of which attrie| butes they doubtless tlud unless they are misrep- resented, ‘To the writer Mr. Burnett entered Into more par- Uculars thin those outlined above. He sicned, like Mr. Harvey Parker, a statement, or rather se ries of statements, all looking to and, Indeed, vert- fying the promises held out, to be exected by Mr. Rice and bis co-laborers and proprictors in this Matter, Mr. Burnett went on to say, things (ihe whole list of his laudatory remarks Will not be here inserted, that this antiseptic e1 abled him to ship sausages during the bot weathe and without 1033 from moulding, sourin; which h» had never before been able to do. That he also treated his cream with It, and so shipped {t to his regular customers last’ summer during their sojourn at out of-town resorts—in short, that the antiseptic had come to be and was in fact, an indispensable facter in these two branches of his business. He was also pleased to lay stress upon the fact that Mr. Haveweyer, the well-known sugar refiner of New York, had ‘used cream given to him by Mr. B. himself during an ocean voyage to Europe last summer, and with the same happy results as those related by Mr. Harvey Parker. Most of the butchers, caterers and meat dealers, whose experiences in their respective avce ations had been recounted by the officers pf this Food Preserving company, were also seen. A veritable mountain of testimony, and of the most valuable and indisputable character, had by this time been collected. ‘The dazed reporter anticipated that the climatic period of the company’s history had been reached. He was further convinced in this impression from having visited the works of the corporation situated at Salem, Mass, works of themselves would be entitled to an entire resume of a reporter’s day’s investiga- tion. The extensive works; the machinery, al- ready in place, with a capacity for supplying a minimum of five tons of this antiseptic per day; the unusual adaptability of the works for rapl shipment—having a itch, as they do, running from the railroad track into the establishment; ‘the evidences of life, and the hum of busy voices in and around the premises—these and other such facts Impressed upon the writer the conviction that the public would soon test the merits of this promised revolutionizer of domestic and commer- cial economy. It will not be too much to add that this will be true, too. To set all Bseeptios, “doubt ‘Thomases” and possible enemies of the enter- prise at rest, however, the Humiston Food Pre- serving Company have begun an additional course of scientific eriments. No poselble doubt seems to exist,either in the minds of the com- any’s Officers, stockholders, or of their many “nds—only a few of whom are herein mentioned —as to the already established claims of this anti- septic upon public attention. Hosts of trials, and of the most exhaustive and persistent character, have already established its phenomenal results.’ Everything’ is ready for its extensive manufacture, yet a scientific “send-off.” 80 to express it, seemed a practicable desidera— tum—the keystone, in fact, to the now completed arch.
