PKESS NOTICES. 97 



" A CAPITAL BREAKFAST RELISH. The majority of people 

 get tired of ham, bacon, and eggs for breakfast, and long for a 

 change. Such persons we advise to try the Ham-cured Yar- 

 mouth Herrings sent out by Mr. C. Stacy- Watson, of Great 

 Yarmouth. Although they have been advertised in our columns 

 several weeks, it was only a few days ago that we had the op- 

 portunity of tasting them, and after trial we can recommend 

 them as a very capital breakfast relish. They are sent out in 

 boxes of various sizes." Coventry Standard, March gth, 1877. 



" As I have mentioned on previous occasions, the ' sportive ' 

 features of the exhibition are, in my estimation, of small account 

 in comparison with those connected with the great industry of 

 our coast. The ' herring ' is the staff of life to hundreds all 

 round our seaboard. Future exhibitions will probably do some- 

 thing more to foster and encourage the catching and curing of 

 this remarkable and prolific creature. The herring employs a 

 larger amount of capital engages more fishermen gives more 

 work to boat-builders, net-makers, curers, and innumerable 

 other handicraftsmen and demands a larger sacrifice of life 

 than any other fish that swims the sea. It is breakfast, dinner, 

 and tea to thousands of the poor, and the occasional luxury of 

 the rich. Whether as * Bloater ' or ' Ham-cured' it is alike use- 

 ful and delicate. It has made Yarmouth everywhere famous. 

 Packed in Messrs. C. Stacy- Watson and Co.'s thief-proof, Anti- 

 pilferage Box, which I am glad to see has obtained a diploma 

 of honour, the ham-cured article goes to all parts of England, 

 and indeed of the civilised world, and then, delicately cooked, 

 with just a masterful squeeze of lemon to soften its flavour and 

 imbue its own rich aroma with another, it makes the produce of 

 the pig vulgar, and becomes a food for lords and monarchs as 

 well as for labourers and artisans. But why do I write thus 

 about the herring ? Simply because it is the foundation of a 

 great industry, and to suggest that in future exhibitions this fact 

 should be to the front." Eastern Daily Press, May 7th, 1881. 



" We must also draw the attention of our readers to a simple 

 yet admirable adaptation to the necessities of the fishing trade. 

 This is in the shape of packages for the better preservation
