AND NOW COMES COBB! And Here's What He Says:
"You know the troubles and tribulations of the candy business just
now terrific pressure and the difficulty in getting sufficient experienced
help." s Please, said he, "say to our customers we are working evenings and .
nights packing fresh candyjn Christmas boxes, so as to give quick service
andsatisfactory service. If we are to give them special put-ups, we must
ask them to come in the morning, particularly on Saturday." Now we
know what Cobb is up against. We know something of the marvelous vol
umlof his business. And we know a great deal tf the quality of his
carray the last word, quality, explains all the rest. If you are thinking of
sending candy to the boy in camp, and, it is to be "Cobbs," better get busy.
Have you seen Cobbs' Fruit Cake? it's on a par with Cobbs' Candy.
l t And that's going some. "v
