Scope and content
Brown & Haley Candy Co., for West Disinfecting Co. This appears to be a combination lunchroom and training area. In the back on the counter are a commercial coffee maker, a hot plate and a display of soup cans. There is a Coca Cola chest cooler with cases of empty bottles beside it. Brown and Haley was founded in 1913 by J. C. Haley, who in 1953 was still serving as president. Fred T. Haley was general manager and Richard G. Haley was production manager. The company's most famous product was Almond Roca, the most desired candy during W.W.II when it was shipped to the Armed Forces. (TNT 9/4/1953, pg. C-15)
