Concord is delighted to welcome with
in it's borders the Sign of the Kettle
Candy Kitchen, which opened its doors
to the public Tuesday. For some years
now THE Sign of the Kettle" candies
have been very familiar to Concord peo-
pie and while they were bought by a
large number of Concord people, few
realized the magnitude to which the bust
ness of the candy making had grown. 1t
was therefore not only treat but de-
cided surprise to many of them who Wis.,
tied the new home Of 1.-The Sign of the
Kettle" Candies on Walden street, Tues
day.
Misses Sarah and Elizabeth Jones, who
are the originatcrs Of the Sign of the
Kettle candies, found that their home in
Concord Junction, where they started in a
very modest way, making hut one or two
kinds, some six years ago, was no longer
large enough for their rapidly growing
business. They had in mind just such a
place as they wanted, but where to find
it was problem. In their search for a
suitable place they came upon what is
known as the old Vose house, one of Con-
cords landmarks, as it were, and init

est history, having been built previous to
viewing the owner, Mrs. Abby Saunders,
it was found that with few alterations
and repairs that the house could be easily
adapted to their needs.
That it is an ideally located, furnished
and fitted place for the making and SELL
ing of 1.-The Sign Of the Kettle" candies
was the verdict of all those who were
welcomed i.?side its doors on Tuesday.
Invitations were issued to the people
of this town and the neighboring towns
as we'll, and so unique and attractive were
they, with their insignia of the little
black kettle and their specially designed
type, that few could resist their appeal.
and so it was very large number which
visited the Kitchen Tuesday.
The house, which is a large rambling
old structure, has been made most fas-
clnating. Everything which pertains to
modern days, other than electric lights,
heating and the like. has been abolished
and instead reigns the exquisite old fur
nishings and finishings of the early days
of our forefathers.
A huge brass knocker adorns the front
door and as one enters the hall it seems
as if most inviting welcome is extend
ed by the quaint soft gray wall paper.
which like all other used III the house, is
a reproduction of that used in Colonial
days. A mahogany stand and girondelle
of exquisite design and with its crystal
drops, which stands opposite the door,
instantly attracts and holds ones atten-
ton.
Stepping from the hall into the room,
on the left one cannot refrain from ex-
claiming over the beautiful picture which
this room presents. A paper, which re-
minds one of the brilliant copper plates
of their grandmothers, adorns the walls
and its bright hued blossoms and gaily
feathered birds are indeed most attract
lively set off by the handsome white pan
cling Of the room. The big old fashion
ed fireplace has been opened up and in
fact throughout the house, wherever one
is located, it has been opened up for use.
The black kettle hangs within on the
