There are few houses engaged in the manufacture of Flavoring extracts
which have at their disposal a laboratory such as this.
Early in their business career McCormick & Company realized that eternal
vigilance in extract making would be the keynote of success.

The services of expert chemists were engaged, a modern laboratory
equipped and the work of producing the world’s finest flavors begun. The
task was not easy, nor has the expense been light, but today, and for a
number of years past, these pioneers in the field of purer foodstuffs
have been reaping the harvest of seed sown years ago.
During the two years which are required to “process” most Bee Brand
Flavoring Extracts the goods are sealed in big white oak casks, where
much of their characteristic mellowness is acquired.

The making of Flavoring Extracts has long since been reduced to a
science, or, if you prefer, elevated to the station of an art. For
twenty-five years the manufacturers of Bee Brand Flavoring Extracts have
been the first to experiment with whatever innovations which have
offered for the betterment of the trade. In spite of many experiments,
the changes have not been drastic—the process remains much the same.
