Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Sugar Refining in the United States, 1816-1916 Manufacture upon a large scale and the continuous operation of its refineries have enabled the Company to sell its product upon a basis of profit smaller than that ordinarily obtained in manufacturing enterprises. By reason of the volume of its business this profit, however, has been sufficient to have paid a fair and regular return upon the in vestment of the stockholders. Believing that the payment of this dividend is an event of interest, we are noting it by this brief account of the development of the cane-sugar refining industry in the United States during the last one hundred years, prepared by Joseph E. Freeman, Esq., the Secretary of the Company. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
