Kunsting purchased five line items which comprise a type of sour candy ("Sour --?"), "Red Riding Hood Gum," "Seu Seu," "Tutti Frutti," and "Adams.'" The printed header reads, "Capital Candy Company. H. Fisher & Co. Dealers in Fireworks; Dealers in Foreign and Domestic Nuts; Manufacturing Confectioners. 508-510 J Street. 507-509 Oak Ave. Agents for Portland Cracker Co." The Capital Candy Company, also known as the Capital Candy & Cracker Company, was a candy and snack business based in Sa. In 1902, it bought out its predecessor, H. Fisher & Company (this billhead, dated 1900, still names H. Fisher & Co. within the illustrated header). The address of 508-510 J Street was that of H. Fisher & Company, but the Capital Candy Company moved locations after acquiring the former. Although not named on the billhead, George C. Sherman (1868-?) figured prominently in the history of the Capital Candy Company. Sherman had been born in 1868 in Nevada County but received his education in Sacramento. At a young age, Sherman entered the candy and cracker business and worked for H. Fisher & Company. When H. Fisher was bought out by the Capital Candy Company, Sherman remained with the business to become one of its managers.. Ephemera. Book Condition: Collectible-Near Fine (Near Fine).
