HISTORY OF STEUBEN COUNTY, NEW YORK.

bottles used in the wine-making establishments. The cork 

 is next covered with foil, when neat and tasty labels are 

 placed upon the bottles and they are packed in straw ready 

 for shipment. 



This gives but a faint idea of the labor and expense of 

 making sparkling wine, for it is estimated that each bottle, 

 from the time it arrives at the wine-house and before it 

 leaves, requires to be handled two hundred times in order 

 to perfect a good article of sparkling wine. 



BOX MAKING. 



The extensive shipping of grapes necessitated an inven- 

 tion which has grown into a new and important branch of 

 industry. We refer to box-making, which is carried on by 

 several steam establishments in the grape district. To illus- 

 trate the extent of this business we will take one factory, 

 that, for instance, lately run by the Fairchild Bros., at 



Hammondsport. Commencing in the infancy of the grape- 

 growing, they kept pace with its progress, manufacturing as 

 follows: 1863,20,000; 1864,50,000; 1865,70,000; all 

 being sold at home. In 1867 were made 100,000 boxes, 

 25,000 going to other grape districts in the State. In 1868, 

 their sales were 180,000, of which 85,000 were foreign sales, 

 going to the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, 

 North Carolina, Kentucky, and California. In 1870, they 

 made and sold 300,000 boxes, 150,000 going to the States 

 named. Without doubt, they have sold as high as 100,000 

 boxes in a year to their home trade. 



Three-pound boxes, eighteen in a case, have been the 

 approved and almost universally adopted method of packing 

 grapes for market until the present season. Baskets, hold- 

 ing from five to twenty-five pounds, have this year been 

 used quite extensively, and promise in the future to hold 

 an important place among the packages for shipping.
