OF PONTARLIER (DOUBS)

If sympathy for the worker is traditional in the Pernod

firm, never has it manifested in the form of interference by the

boss in the private life of his subordinates; never has one seen

that anxious supervision which amounts to meddling in the

slightest details of the life of the worker, to dictate even his

political and religious opinions to him. In all cases where

discipline in the workplace is not involved, personal freedom is

absolutely respected.

In becoming owners of the House of Pernod and Sons,

Mssrs. Veil-Picard made a point of preserving the philanthropic

institutions created by their predecessors, to which they attach

the same value as to the manufacturing processes, the

improvement of the equipment, and the reputation of the

trademark known and appreciated all over the world.
