| TEXT | The raw material out of which cocoa aid chocolate are prepared is the fruit of the cocoa tree, which grows in all parts of South and Central America. The seeds are about the size and color of a sweet almond, inclosed in a pulp, but the most highly esteemed varieties are obtained from the northern part of South America. The seeds are separated from the pulp, dried, prepared by a peculiar process, and then shipped in large quantities to the place of manufacture. Some years ago the best chocolate was made in France, but now America outrivals her in the quality of its production, and New York stands at the head of this manufacture in the United States. A prominent house in the manufacture of cocoa and chocolate preparations is that of Mr. Henry McCobb, No. 311 East 22nd Street, which was established in 1878, at No. 263 Mercer Street, by the present proprietor, and eventually was removed, in consequence of a rapidly increasing business, in 1881, to the present eligible location. The premises are very commodious and spacious, and comprise two buildings, Nos. 311 and 315 East 22nd Street, twenty-five or one hundred feet, admirably arranged and equipped with every facility and improved machinery for the prosecution of the business, employment being given to seventy-five or one hundred skilled operatives. Mr. McCobb manufactures large quantities of chocolate of all lands and ships it to all parts of the United States. Some ten or twelve different kinds are made, for all of which there is a constant and increasing demand from confectioners and first-class grocery trade, but the specialty of this establishment is the manufacture of chocolate for table use, which is unexcelled for quality and flavor. A man who creates a new and profitable branch of manufacture is a public benefactor; but he who in addition to this furnishes the people with an article of food and drink, which has infinitely greater nutritive qualities than tea or coffee, without any of their stimulative effects, an article which is health-giving in all its properties, and the general use of which cannot fail to elevate the health of the people, deserves the esteem and gratitude of his fellow-citizens. Personally, Mr. McCobb is a native of Portland, Maine, but has resided in New York for the last twelve years and is greatly esteemed by the community as an honorable business man and upright private citizen. He may be justly considered as thoroughly identified with the best interests .of the metropolis, and as promoting its commerce with activity, discrimination and success. |
