Brown, a small confection store owner, and the other named J. C. Haley an avid salesman and marketer, got together and started a candy manufacturing company in 1914. It was not until 1923, when the company hit gold in the form of a small bar confection. This crunchy, log-shaped confection suffused inside with butter and coated with chocolate and chopped almonds took America by storm.
