ANNOUNCEMENT

Why is it that the Newark people
have never in the past years been in
vited to visit the candy shops to see
the candies they are and have been
eating? Why do the candy merchants
keep the door closed and invite no
one to their candy room?
Is or was there too much draft?
No.
Is or was there dust being blown
in? No.
He keeps the door closed in order
that his customers may not get sight
of his shop.
Is or was it because he has some
new tools? Nix.
Is or was it because he is making
line of goods that no one else on
earth can make? No.
Is or was it because he don't or
didn't want his customers to know
that he makes his own candies? Well
L should say not.
He wants the door kept closed so
his customers can not see the filthy
conditions of his shop.
Because he didn't or don't want his
customers to see his candy makers or
his helpers working around half naked
or with what little they did have on
would stand alone if taken off.
Because he is and was afraid he
will loose his customers if they saw
what ne didn't want them to see.
How can such candy shops make the
sO-called Purest and Best Candies OBJ
tainable at any price? Today people
can not believe all they hear, but,
seeing is believing.
Our shop has always been and al
ways shall be open to every one.
Everyone is invited to our candy shop
to see where the candies are made
and to see them made before you buy.
Don't stop eating candy, but do see
how the
OLYMPIA CONFECTIONERY
candies you eat are made.
