Francisco Sugar Company.
Alcohol records, 1958-1963.
1.7 linear ft.
(4 boxes)
Series 104 contains records of the New York office of the Francisco Sugar Company related to the manufacture and sale of alcohol distilled from cane molasses. The earliest records in this series appear to have been the files of Jacob Levene, Secretary of the Francisco Sugar Company. Later files may have been generated in the office of Czarnikow-Rionda vice president Michael J. P. Malone. There is considerable documentation on the Sevilla Distillery at the Central Francisco including data on production costs, manufacturing reports, and Cuban tax statements. Of particular note, are the correspondence files and reports from Raphael Katzen Associates, consulting engineers, on plant improvement and product analysis. Records related to sales to European and U.S. customers are also evident. The latter indicate that Francisco also served as a sales agent for other Cuban distilleries. The series ends in 1963, after the expropriation of the Cuban distilleries, with Czarnikow-Rionda pursuing alternative alcohol sources in Brazil and Peru.
