Ganongs: A Sweet History of Chocolate is the lusciously illustrated story of a family-owned business that rediscovered its niche in a world dominated by huge corporations. In 1873, James and Gilbert Ganong opened a tiny grocery store; since then, five generations of Ganongs have transformed that fledgling business into one of the world's leading candy-makers. The creator of the all-day sucker, chicken bones, and the world's first five-cent chocolate nut bar, Ganongs cheered up Depression-era sweethearts with the heart-shaped chocolate box. They pioneered streetcar ads, trading cards, and exquisitely designed and rendered advertising. Delecto chocolates have been Canadian favourites for a full century, the boxes becoming treasures in themselves. Photographs of this colourful memorabilia, of candy making, and of the factory itself make Ganongs: A Sweet History of Chocolate a showcase of Ganongs? long candy-making history.
