Scope and content
Display of Brown & Haley chocolates. A stand full of Brown & Haley products is on display on October 7, 1955. There is a variety of chocolate in the form of creams, fruit & nut combinations, wafers, pure chocolate and well-known Almond Roca. A sign urges consumers to "give...and enjoy Brown & Haley Chocolates." The company has been in Tacoma since 1913 when Harry L. Brown and Jonathan Clifford Haley combined forces to form Brown & Haley. Their Almond Roca was the first candy hermetically sealed in coffee tins which allowed the company to promote and sell it extensively outside the Northwest. (History of Pierce County, Vol. 1, p. 428)
