THE DRUGGIST CANDY COMPANY

The somewhat composite name of the
above company is indicative of the ma
ture of the products made, and is by no
means anomalous. There are few peo-
pie who are not fond of candy in one
form or another, and among, them are
those who are patrons of the finest
bonbons only, and such patrons under
stand that wherever else they may find
the first-class drug stores. Hence large
stocks of such sweets in attractive
pecially for this trade and are known
as druggists specials in fine confec-
tionery Los Angeles contains large

of preparation, are not excelled on the

manufactures fine handmade candies,
bonbons, chocolates, caramels and, in
confections including the countless
lozenges, drops, cartouches, etc. This

LAMOR G. HAMILTON

Los Angeles, too, has her candy
kitchens, which, while appealing to the
cultivated and refined taste for sweets,
are helping to make the city's reputa-
ton for being able to furnish the good
things of life to her denizens. Con-
spicuous among these is the we'll known
and justly celebrated candy factory of
Mrs. U. J. Lamor and Is. A. Hamilton
whose fresh homemade candies take
precedence among many of our people
over the product of several rival con
Germs and though only established
about three years, they have built up a
remarkably successful business, which
bids fair to become an important fac
tor in the Los Angeles business world.
The secret of the success of this busi-
ness venture has been that both its
proprietors are practical and expert
enced candy makers, and because they
use only the high grade sugars, syrups
and other ingredients in their candies,
and because they are made fresh every
day. They also have an excellent soda
fountain business. They are located at
222 West Fifth street
