History
Wood Candy Co. was established in 1908 at 930 N. Michigan Avenue — one of Chicago's most prominent addresses — suggesting it operated as a high-end confectionery. Evidence of the company comes primarily through surviving artifacts: a 3-pound decorative candy tin from the 1920s indicates the company packaged premium assorted candies in lithographed tins popular with upscale confectioners of the era. Period accounts reference a menu from the establishment, indicating it may have operated as a combined candy manufacturer, retail shop, and tearoom. Little else is documented about its principals, products, or the circumstances of its closure.
