North Canton Candies

North Canton Candies

I have been working on a project for Fannie May Candies in North Canton and ran into this wonderful image in the archives. It's a Fannie May Candies Easter billboard in what looks to be Chicago's Loop. Along with Mrs. Snyder's, Fannie May also bought candymaker Fanny Farmer along the way. If you like your candy history complete with all the sordid yet sweet details stay tuned for this new project in North Canton, Ohio.
