G. & C. Moore

G. & C. MOORE, Aerated Water Manufacturers and Bottlers, Springfield Bottling Works, Mordaunt Street, Glasgow.

    This rising business was established about four years ago, in the above premises, by Messrs. G. & C. Moore, and has rapidly grown to important dimensions. The site is a good one and the premises commodious enough to meet the expansion of the trade for a long time to come. The firm are determined not to be behind the best manufacturers, and have given considerable attention to the selection of the best plant and appliances for the producing of aerated beverages of all kinds. They have just laid down £250 worth of the most improved machinery that can be had, to meet the anticipated increase in this season’s (1891) trade.

    Scrupulous cleanliness is the distinguishing characteristic of their works, and no expense or trouble is spared to procure the finest and purest flavouring essences. Great care is devoted to the important matter of syrup-making also and, indeed, to every detail of the process. Messrs. G. & C. Moore make eleven kinds of beverages, including lemonade, soda water, hot Tom, ginger beer, lime juice, and seltzer, all of first-class quality. They also do a large business as stout and beer bottlers ; a separate building, fitted with the best bottling and corking appliances, being set apart for this department.

    The present working staff is twenty-one hands ; and six vans are kept constantly engaged in the work of distribution. Their connexion with the trade is extending very rapidly, and, with the improved plant now in use, they are in a favourable position for meeting every demand. A neat office occupies the front of the works, the top flat serving for storage.

    Both partners are practical men and look after everything themselves. From what we see of their skill, attention, and enterprise, there is a very prosperous career before them in the immediate future.
