It seems that there is never a bad time to buy candy. A smiling employee helps two men with their selection of Dorette Fancy Chocolates. She is holding up a box of preselected chocolates for their approval. Customers could also choose to purchase creams and chews of dark or milk chocolate with prices ranging from $1.15 a pound to 60 cents. Old favorites of candy corn, pineapple jelly, ambrosia, wintergreen mints and chocolate divinity bars could be selected from the glassed-in display. A white scale and small paper sacks were available to weigh and package the candies. Dorette Candy, Inc., was located at 8631 South Tacoma Way and owned by Dorothy Kellogg.
