OF PONTARLIER (DOUBS)
We will have occasion to explain ourselves at
greater length in this regard.
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.
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.
