TRINIDAD : THEN AND NOW. 



267 



world over through its " Stout," and in like manner 

 the name of Siegert is becoming known throughout 

 the world by its unique " Bitters." 



But it has, and is locally doing more than this ; 

 by the well remunerated employment which it gives 

 to many and contributes, year by year, to the fame of 

 the colony and thus helping and will help to make 

 Trinidad of Now more widely known than the Trini- 

 dad of Then. 



Were I to recount the number of diplomas, 

 medals and Royal recognitions which " Angostura 

 Bitters " has received from many Crown Heads of 

 Europe and distinguished personages all over the 

 world, it might be thought that I w 7 as writing an ad- 

 vertisement, instead of simply endeavouring in a 

 plain manner, to describe that which is of world wide 

 renown and will tend to bring this colony more con- 

 spiciously before the world, when it becomes more 

 widely know T n that it claims the distinction of being 

 the sole home of its adoption. 



Other New Industrie?. 

 There are, also, many other new industries 

 started : some on a large, some on a small scale since 

 my advent to Trinidad ; but as they are not exclusive 

 to Trinidad — as " Angostura Bitters " is — I can only 

 passingly refer to them. Taking them alphabetically 

 they are as follows : Brewery, Carriage Building, 

 Cigar and Cigarette Making, Furniture, Horticulture, 

 Match and Soap Making and a Tannery, and though 

 last, not least, " Electric Print ery."
