 The Curtis Candy Company was founded in 1916 in Chicago, IL by Otto Schnering.  The Baby Ruth candy bar, introduced in 1921, was one of their best known brands.  They had several other brands, some you'll recognize:  Butterfinger, Polar Bar, Coconut Grove, Jolly Jacks, Penny Log, Saf-T-Pops, CHICOS peanuts (we currently have this ad available, while quantities last), and lots of "penny candy".   In 1964 Curtis Candy was sold to Standard Brands.  In 1981 they were acquired by Nabisco, later by Nestlé in 1990.  Today their brands, (that still exist), are owned by the Ferrara Candy Company (part of Ferrero). 

Courtney Allen (1896- 1969), was an American illustrator, born January 16, 1896 in Norfolk, Virginia.  He attended several art schools including the Corcoran Art School, The National Academy Art School in New York City and others.  His first art work was purchased by the local newspaper of his hometown when he was only eleven years old.  He was primarily an illustrator for books and popular magazines.  His works were exhibited in museums and other art exhibits including the Chrysler Art Museum and the Provincetown History Museum.  He passed away at the age of 73 in North Truro, Mass.
