THOSE REAL CARAMELS

We are making are the kind you can
get nowhere else but at Miller 5 candy
store because there is no one else who
makes them. There are some things
we claim TO know how to do, and MAX
ing caramels is one of them. They
are made fresh daily and we seldom
have any left over because those who
love carameis keep on buying them and
telling their friends about them. We
increase the quantity every day but
we can enlarge it even more if you
want some.
