TO MEMBERS OF REGIMENTAL MESSES.
MEMBERS of Regimental Messes, Residents in India and the Colonies, are
respectfully solicited to inspect the articles supplied to them, purporting to
be the manufacture of CROSSE & BLACKWELL, as in consequence of the great
repute in which their various condiments and table-supplies are held, large quantities
ofjgoods are prepared so similar to theirs in outward appearance, that the deception
is not discovered until the purchaser has opened them.
It is therefore important to all who wish to guard against disappointment, to care¬
fully examine their purchases, as C. & B. do not guarantee any articles to be of their
manufacture, unless bearing their name and address in full on the various bottles and
corks. The indents C. & B. execute for the principal storekeepers in India and the
British Colonies are most varied and extensive, comprising (among other preparations
too numerous to be included in the limits of an advertisement) the following well
known s\ipplies:—
Pickles of various descriptions, the whole (with the exception of white Onions and
Mushrooms) prepared with pure White Wine Vinegar.
White Onions and Mushrooms prepared with pure Distilled Vinegar only. The
Mushrooms are preserved immediately they are gathered from the grounds, at C. &
B.'s factory at Lewes, Sussex.
The Royal Table Sauce, a warm rich sauce for cold meat and general purposes.
Essence of Anchovies, in the preparation of which none but the best Gorgona Fish
are used.
The Celebrated Soho Sauce, for game, venison, fish, &c.
Dinmore's iLssence of Shrimps, one of the most delicious sauces ever introduced
for imparting a relish to all kinds of boiled and fried fish, and being milder than the
Essence of Anchovies, has met with a decided preference ; the true flavour of the
Shrimp is fully retained as it is manufactured on the sea coast, where C. and B. have
a factory for this express purpose.
Sir Robert Peel's Sauce for general purposes; each bottle is labelled with a fac¬
simile of the late Right Hon. Baronet's letter of approval.
