Scope and content
Studio display of Almond Roca. Delicious Almond Roca, a Brown & Haley product, came out with new candy containers in 1966. The crunchy log-shaped candy was developed in 1923 by Harry Brown in Tacoma. As the cans indicate, the number one ingredient is almonds with a buttercrunch toffee center. In 1927 Almond Roca became the first candy in the world to be put in a sealed tin. The ability to keep the candy fresh while packed in air-tight tins allowed the product to be shipped to servicemen overseas during WWII hastening its popularity worldwide. Photograph ordered by Brown & Haley. (www.brown-haley.com/almond.cfm)
