house of their own, where they could"
secure candy at juct as low prices
and a great deal more convenience
than they could at the larger houses
in the cities.
The wholesale house was opened
up in the room just east of the
Journal office and in a few months
the business has grown to large pro
portions and the place is now crowd
ed with business and supplies a
large territory with sweetstuff and
has proved a real benefit to the com

make the wholesale office depart

service.
