Show Publisher of Western Confectioner Con-fectioner Talks of Conditions Condi-tions in Utah. "Two localities iu the United .States stand out iis the great oentnilized :andy manufacturing points, and Utah is ono of them," said W. A. Otis, publisher of the Western Confectioner of Seattle, vetcrdav. Mr. Otia has been here to attend the convention of western candy-makers candy-makers held during the past week. "And to mc it is remarkable." Mr. Otis continued, "that in tliis thinly populated pop-ulated state there should have developed four of the finest candy factories in the entire wst, in fact in the entire United States. These factories are the Sweet Candv company, the ,f. 0. McDonald Chocolate company, the Startup Candy company of Provo and the Shune-Williams Candy company of Ogdcii. Mr. Otis called attention to the fact that Utah candies are well known on the Pacific coast anil as far east as Denver aa they uro riht here in Utah. He noted also that recently larjre con-sijriiODts con-sijriiODts of Utah candy had been -fipped as far as Australia. This, he says, is one of the best advertisements L'tah has. Concerning home-made candy and candy for children, Mr. Otis said: I would like to do the mothers of L'tah a favor by pointing out two fallacies, one of which in particular par-ticular has gained a. strong stand-ins stand-ins without any sound reason for it. Many mothers have a fear of permitting per-mitting their little ones to enjoy the penny candy sucker, but will let them eat stick candy. This, in the belief that the' candy sucker is liable to make a child sick. Nothing Noth-ing could be more incorrect than this. idea. The two pieces of candy can-dy ;tre almost identical in their composition. com-position. The other fallacy is that of re- posing too much confidence in what is read about making home-made ! candies. A western daily decently published an article on how to make ; a certain kind of candy at home. It-was suggested that, the addition addi-tion of a given amount of paraf-fine paraf-fine would help. Xow paraffino is absolutely prohibited by the United States government in the manufacture of candy. Whilcit is not poisonous, it is not digestil.de and will lie in the stomach for a long time and very likely cause irritation. irri-tation. When making candy at t home don't use paraffino in it. |
