Excerpt from Graphics
It seems to me that in the candy trade we have an extraordinarily compact epitome of life as it is lived to-day; and especially I refer to the chocolate bon-bon trade. We who are on top and have the money to buy, buy.
What do we buy?
Why - chocolate bon-bons, of course.
The chocolate bon-bon! Symbol of youth, joy of the young maid's heart, love-offering of the gallant swain. How at this joyous Christmas time a saccharine sentiment pervades all our good, honest hearts, God bless us! How we who have the money do love to buy and present the sweet gifts! In my mind's eye I see us millions of properly-clothed, healthy, cheery people walking out on Christmas morning, in the crisp air, about our errands from one friend's house to another; hearty laughter on the doorstep; decent exclamations of gladness and surprise within, as we look at the youngsters' Christmas tree, at the young lady's presents.
