 Water is freely used on floors and walls. The employees are 

 mostly women. They do the bottling, bottle washing, and all 

 the lighter details. They are neatly dressed in white aprons, 

 sleeves and caps. The men, who do the heavier lifting, are 

 dressed in white overalls, jackets and caps. The bottling is 

 done by a special but simple machine ; the corking by a 

 corking machine ; the tying is done by women, and each 

 bottle is sealed with a leaden button which is stamped.
