Brown and Haley Candy Co. Mr. Brown & Mr. Haley with a group of salesmen. Harry L. Brown is in the center of the front row. J.C. Haley is third from left in the front row. Brown & Haley is one of the largest and oldest candy companies in the United States. Harry Brown learned the candy making art in 1902 at Tacoma confectionery Josslyn's. He opened his own retail candy shop on Broadway in 1907. It became a business partnership when his friend Jonathan Clifford Haley began selling Harry's "Oriole Chocolates." By 1914, the partnership was formal with the organization of Brown & Haley. Mr. Haley was president and chief salesman and Mr. Brown was general manager, chief candy formulator and head of manufacturing. The company owes its success to loyal and hardworking employees, a committment to producing high quality candy and the invention of the unique "English toffee" in 1923 that is now named Almond Roca. It is one of the largest selling gift confections in the US and is marketed in 30 countries on 6 continents. The company is still a family owned and run business.
