A. B. Gums
A. B. Gums have been known in the candy business for years as “The Basic Gum Drop”. The line is basic is judging a manufacturers quality of Gums, and is the basic in comparing prices between manufactures, and it is undoubtedly the largest selling Gum Drop made by any company. Our gum drops have a clarity unrivalled by any of our competitors. Out Gum Drops have a trueness of colour which is enhanced by the clarity of the Gums. Our Gum Drops have a texture giving a desired chewiness without that sticking that pulls out your fillings. Our A. B.

Canasta Mix
One of the brightest and most colourful of mixed candies we have available. Very high percentage of Nonpareils beaded centres with a Nonpareil that has a bright, shiny, attractive appetizing appearance in all colours of the rainbow. There is so much variety in a bag of this mixture that you seldom see two bags exactly alike on the shelf. Although the mixture has a high percentage of licorice flavoured pieces, it is not intended to be a licorice mixture and is not an imitation of a licorice mixture like some other lines seen on the shelf. The licorice flavoured pieces are not predominant enough to confine the sale solely to licorice lovers, but it does have enough licorice flavoured pieces to satisfy the licorice taste of most people. This line is one of our biggest sellers for the simple reason that it is the most colourful and brightest of these types of mixtures on the shelf today. Sell this line on its colourful attractiveness and you will have a steady repeater and an all year round seller.
Golden Humbugs
We have a Golden Humbug unequalled in taste and appearance when compared to Humbugs manufactured by any one of the other 60 odd hard candy manufacturers in Canada. We admit this is a very broad statement to make. We feel we can back up this claim. In appearance, our Humbugs have a depth of gloss, a pleasant appearing molasses look. It looks rich and wholesome, not pale and faded. In flavour, our Humbugs have our high quality peppermint, which as you know, is unsurpassed in combination with the tantalizing molasses flavour. Our humbugs are a steady leader in face of all competition and have been in this position since 1948.
