Not sure exactly what happened to Mr. Breisch, but several caramel companies were cannabalizing each other during that timeframe (early 1900s). Pennsylvania seemed to be mecca for caramel. Not only was there a big plant in Oxford with Breisch-Williams - later Williams Caramel, but Mr. Hershey was in Lancaster, PA. He seemed to do ok with his business.
Here's a couple more E107s...
