alcohols. We will have occasion to explain ourselves at |
greater length in this regard. |
xxxx
Alongside this essential element of the success of |
the Pernod brand, are others which also have their |
importance. We want to talk about the manufacturing |
processes that Mr. Pernod never ceased to improve, |
sparing no effort to create model equipment capable of |
providing the best results; we want to also speak about the |
proverbial honesty that always governed the trade of the |
Pernod House, providing it with as many |
many friends as customers and vendors. |
xxxx
These traditions were religiously respected and |
followed by Mr. Veil-Picardy to whom Mr. Pernod yielded |
his business, in which he remained as a silent partner in |
return for a significant share. |
xxxx
It is not futile to add that the former head of the |
house continued to follow with a quite natural solicitude |
the operations which he had directed for so many years; in |
particular, it was always he himself who dealt with the |
purchase of raw materials and not a wagon of proof spirit |
nor a bale of herbs or seeds entered the stores unless |
Mr. Pernod had approved the sample. |
xxxxFurthermore, Mr. Viel Picardy has made a point of |
retaining as the heads of technical and commercial |
services, the collaborators who assisted Mr. Pernod for |
years, and who, informed by long experience, continue to |
be inspired by his example and precepts.
