Not to Be Beaten in Italy An industry of Shanghai which is rapidly becoming known the world over through its' Rooster Brand" is the Hing Wah Paste Manufacturing Company.—The factory of this firm is housed in a five-storey building facing Soochow Creek, where the latest American machinery and painstaking management are turning out a product which can compare favourably in quality and purity with the best made even in Italy—the mother of macaroni. Thirty varied ties in all of the delicious "paste" are manufactured, varying from the large macaroni tubes to the finest egg noodles, made with fresh eggs, and from imitation shells to tiny stars. All of these are made of the same wheat flour, with the exception of Birds' Nest Paste which is 2 more expensive product, probably more delicate, but not yet well enough known among foreigners to be considered a staple food.
The Hing Wah Paste Manufacturing Company is entirely indi-genius. Not only are the management and staff exclusively Chinese, but all the raw products used in the manufacture of the paste are Chinese. The flour is a blend of North and South China wheat.
Would that as successful a blend could be effected in other respects between North and South.
