The death was announced on 14th Feb I v ruary of the head of a firm the name of I a which has deen carried to every cornel n , of the globe— Mr Walter Lazenby, of X, Elizabeth Lazenby and Sons, the fam Vl ouB pickle and sauce manufacturers L, Mr Lazenby. died at Sydenbmn in his L<l seventy -first year. When as a youth, coming straight ni from school, Mr Walter Lazenby began p his work for the firm there was only a I „ small factory for the making of dinner • condiments in Ed ward -street, W. ij since renamed Wigmore street. He s t was responsible for the growth of. the to concern (states a writer in the Daily : Mail). From north of the Thames the **> factory for pickle .and sauce making *° was moved to the south side. Under I th his superintendence two great factories I e^ were built, one in Bermondsey, covering I „_ many acres, and another in Tiinity-jtu street.

He presented his recipe to Mrs Elizabeth Lazenby, a relative by marriage, and she started, more than th £ a hundred years ago, a small business a in the sauce.

Old advert I isements from papers published a cent- 1 ury since and more, detailing the charms I Exj of this famous Harvey's sauce, are pre- 1 iru I served among the firm's records. But hay >t was due to the energy of Mr Walter I {° r Lazenby that the sauce found its way 8 into most of the larders of the world.
