During the time the machine and the stand have been here about 3,000 pounds of the candy havo been sold. An average of 100 pound a day is- sohl. Tr make this candy it has required 900 pounds of pugar and about 100 gallons nf syrup. It i3 cooked and as soon as It becomes solid enough it is placed on a machine which "pulls" it automatically. It is cut into the proper size by a machine. Mr. Casper travel? through the country during the winter, having hlf stands at drug stores.
