Little piece of history

The last couple of weeks at the candy store has been slow. As well as I haven't been working because I have other plans so I took some time off to enjoy myself. So for my blog I decided to give a little history lesson about the candy store.
A theory about where the o'henry candy bar was invented by a man named Tom Henry of Arkansas city, Kansas. Tom Henry ran a candy company called the Peerless candy factory, and in 1919 he started making the Tom Henry candy bar. He sold the candy bar to Williamson Candy Company in 1920, where they later changed the name to "Oh Henry!". Henry's family now runs a candy factory in Dexter, Kansas that sells "momma henry" bars, which are nearly identical to the original candy bar.
The store before it's current location  was located in downtown dexter, the building is still staying and is now called the gathering place. Henry's moved from this location in 1975 to their current location because we would see more cars on the highway then in downtown dexter. We also share the build with our local volunteer fire department.
