M AKES ANNOUNCEMENT
NEW line of penny candy
bars that increases the
sales of vendors has been de­
veloped by Garfield Candies,
Inc., Chicago, Illinois. They are
“ all-year-round” bars and have
proved themselves by the rigid
test of hot summer weather
when placed in vendors hereto­
fore used only for chocolate
bars. It is reported that oper­
ators ;who, instead of leaving
their machine idle, keep them
filled with Garfield’s new penny
bars are reaping harvests of
coins.
“ NUTTY NUGGET” , “ AL­
MOND CHEW” and “ PEANUT
CRUNCH” are the names of
these popular, fast-selling new
penny candy bars. They are
high grade candy of excellent
taste.
“ Quality candy, attractive
packaging, and uniformity ac­
complished by modern machin­
ery” > said Fred Lax, Garfield’s
Production Manager, “ were all
combined to create this new
ideal penny candy-bar service
for all-year-round vending. The
inner grease-proof wax paper
and the machine double-wrap­
ping are important features of
these bars, because they elimi­
nate
all
vending
machine
troubles.”
An angle o f particular im­
portance was pointed out by
Martin M. Malsh, Garfield’s
Sales Manager, who said: “ Now
operators need no longer fear
idle machines due to weather
conditions. Furthermore, our
new bars give the operators of
the selective types of penny bar
vendors a greater variety and
increased turn-over and profits.”
Another Garfield product is
“ SIX BITS.” This is a very fine
5c peanut candy bar, which has
proved a “ best seller” because it
has the tang so sought after by
\
the public and achieved only by
candy makers long experienced
in the art of toasting peanuts.
The attractive tri-colored, mois­
ture-proof wrapper of trans­
D IA L -A -T U N E

parent cellophane is in itself a
silent salesman. Air-tight seal­
ing of the wrapper insures re­
tention of the original goodness
of the bar.
The Garfield Candy Company
will mail samples of their prod­
ucts to interested operators.
These samples come in attrac­
tive mailing kits.
