Scope and content
Built in 1902, and originally the home of the Stilson-Kellogg Shoe Company, this building at 108-16 East 26th St. became the new home of the Brown & Haley Candy Company in June, 1919. Harry L. Brown & Jonathan Clifford Haley formally organized the Brown & Haley Candy Co. in 1914 with Haley as president and chief salesman, and Brown as general manager and chief candy formulator. Harry Brown created the company's unique "English Toffee," later given the brand name "Almond Roca," in 1923. This photograph dates from 1948.
