Thanks for posting the ad Leon. Thats the first mention of a Chicago office that I've seen. Primarily used for their packaged goods (peanut butter, jams,etc) rather than their candy. The "candied figs" are different as they had enough preservatives to stay fresh for a few months. Those Calarab boxes have turned up in different regions of the country. Also, the San Diego factory still exists (the building not the business). It was converted to an Antique mall in the late 70's, then renovated in the last decade. One of the first buildings to undergo renovation in what is now the gaslamp district / old downtown San Diego. San Francisco's factory (not listed in your ad) was destroyed in the '06 earthquake
