The Story of Sauer's Extract

THE story of the development, of “Sauer’s Pure Flavoring Extracts" is of interest to everyone concerned with the distribution of flavoring extracts. Like many of America’s great enterprises, The C. F. Sauer Co. had a modest beginning.

The company were founded in 1887, at Richmond, Va., by C. F. Sauer. The business began in a humble way, with the manufacturing force consisting of a handful of employes.

From the inception of the business, the highest standards of purity were raised, and they have never been lowered, no matter what the cost has been. From the small beginning the C. F. Sauer Co. grew steadily year by year.

In 1889 it became necessary to obtain larger quarters to accommodate the growing business. In a few short years still larger quarters became necessary and, in 1912, the company built their present home, said to be the largest flavoring extract plant in the world.

This plant is of fireproof construction throughout, equipped with every device to insure sanitary production. It covers 210 x 300 feet and affords 100,000 square feet of floor space. It is set in a beautiful park and is one of the show places of Richmond.

An experimental kitchen and laboratory is operated at the factory, in which new methods of using flavoring extracts are developed daily.

In competition with the various brands of extracts all over the world, Sauer's extracts have won, since 1887, at American and European Expositions, 17 highest awards and gold medals, offered for the purity, strength and flavor of flavoring extracts.

At expositions in Rome, Antwerp, Paris, London, Madrid, St. Louis, San Francisco, Jamestown, San Diego and other cities, Sauer's Extracts have carried off the highest honors for quality.
