| TEXT | Pennsylvania industries include several of a diversified character and of national importance as regards their product coming into successful competition with foreign importations. Such, for example, is the case with Messrs. Moore & Sinnott, proprietors of the Gibsouton Mills Distillery, with headquarters at No. 232 and 234 South Front street, in this city. This firm has achieved a national reputation for the superiority, purity and excellent quality of its whiskies, which from a small beginning early developed into a large and growing industry. The superiority and purity of their whiskies, recommended them to the best classes of the trade and consumers all over the United States. The vast progress made by the American distillery interests has in this connection an excellent illustration in the operations of this celebrated firm. This great establishment was founded in the year 1S37, it has had half a century and over of honorable success vouchsafed to but few commercial undertakings. The late John Gibson, the founder, was a thorough master of the business in all its branches. The firm was for a lengthy period known as that of John Gibson's Son & Co., and its record is one of honorable effort and continuous enlargement of its facilities to meet the ever growing demand, until in 1884, the junior partners, Mr. Andrew M. Moore and Mr. Joseph F. Sinnott, became sole proprietors of the various important interests and as successors to the old firm have energetically continued the business, ever maintaining their product at the original high standard of excellence and annually increasing their sales. A fact which speaks volumes as to the purity of these liquors, is that they are generally used in the hospitals of this city and State, and are prescribed by the medical profession. The distilleries are favorably located at Gibsouton on the Monongahela River, in Westmoreland county, and constitute a series of the largest size and most substantially constructed buildings, fitted up in the most elaborate manner, with all the modern appliances, and in every way the most perfectly equipped establishment of the kind in the country. Extensive kilns and malt-houses adjoin the distillery, only the finest grain that can be procured is used, and after being carefully kiln-dried, in conjunction with pure barley malt, form the ingredients of the distillation of their celebrated pure Monongahela rye, wheat and malt whiskies. The operations are conducted in the most skillful manner, and the Gibsouton whiskies have been the popular favorites both as to quality and flavor. The distilleries afford steady employment for upwards of 125 men, and have the capacity of one hundred barrels per day. The firm's mercantile facilities are equally perfect. The principal
offices and warehouses are situated at Nos. 232 and 234 South Front street, comprising a four story and basement building, 60 x 200 feet in dimensions, and where a large and choice stock of their whiskey is always carried. In addition to their Philadelphia house, the firm have agencies in the principal trade centres elsewhere, as follows: New York, No. 60 Broad street; Boston, No. 160 State street; New Orleans, 102 Poydras street; San Francisco, No. 314 Sacramento street; and in Charleston, South Carolina, aud Savannah and Augusta, Georgia. An expert trade is also done, which is annually increasing. The firm has on hand the largest and best stock of choice old whiskies in the United States. This is an important consideration to buyers; recognizing this fact, Messrs Moore & Sinnott have at command a storage capacity in heated bonded warehouses of the enormous total of sixty-five thousand barrels. Their customers realize their merits in comparison with other aspirants for public favor, and it need hardly be added that the Gibsonton Monongahela brands permanently maintain the lead both for fine bar trade, family use and medicinal purposes. Mr. Andrew M. Moore has been identified with American distillery interests for upwards of forty-five years past, and Mr. Joseph V. Sinnott for upwards of thirty years. |
