soft drinks. many tons OF candy and
thousands OF gallons OF ice cream. So
great Is the amount of candy and ice
cream made that 1t is impossible to
secure fair estimate of the production.
The average person does not realize
the vast amount OF these luxuries used
by the people OF. this territory until con-
versation has been had with the manu-
facturers. Practically, Fargo manu-
facturers supply all OF North Dakota
and parts OF neighboring states.
In Fargo there are two candy fac
tories and two bottling works that sell
to the out OF town trade. The ice
cream manufacturers make their pro-
duct principally for the city and for
the towns In the contiguous territory.
Large quantities of Ice cream and soft
drinks are sold especially during the
summer months when the demand for
the cooling product Ia at its height.
Il would be impossible TO give q COR
rect estimate of the total production
OF these CONNECTIONS, but It Is safe 20
say there are tons of both shipped out
each year while large amount is con-
sumed by the residents of the city.
Among the candy manufacturers are
the Clancy Everhart Candy Co., the
J. d. Grant Co., the Geo. Pirie Co., M.
F. Jones and William Jones. The three
last manufacturers named make candy
principally for sale in their own retail
stores. The others, however, manufac-
ture the product for the retail trade in
all parts OF the territory named above.
The makers OF ice cream for the out
of town trade are the Geo. Prize Co,
the Fargo Ice Cream and Cider Co. and
the Bon Ton. Several other ice cream
parlors make the luxury for their own
trade. 1t has become quite an indus
try in the city and has proved profita-
BILE for those engaged in the business.
The CLANCY Evsrhart Candy Co.
The Clancy Everhart Candy Co., is
one of the largest manufacturing con-
Germs in the city. Annually II converts
large quantities OF sugar, chocolate and
other sweets into CONNECTIONS of various
kinds. This product reaches large

Fargo, adding materially to its pros
perity. ,....5
This factory does strictly a candy
business which has reached large pro-
portions in all parts of the territory
covered. The officers of the concern
realized that they were locating In a
good territory when they came to Fargo
and they appreciate the patronage that
has been given them by the candy deal
ers of the state. -aus--
1t is the aim of the factory to turn
out a high grade of confections that

price. In locating in Fargo advantage
was given in several. things which
make the manufacturing price such
that competition could be had with the
eastern concerns.
