Thank you Pat! This fits in with what else has surfaced. The
"Robertson's Candy" product is presumably from Robertson Bros., the much larger candy firm and in Canada. It is also possible that some of Robertson Candy Co.'s product was also sold in Canada. Or that there was, indeed, a similarly obscure Robertson Candy Co. that was in Canada during this time and will eventually surface. I think it unlikely now, but it is possible.
It is interesting the Hudson-Fulton fund piece lists Robertson Candy Co. and Bradshaw & Co. The Bradshaw of Crown Sweets and Robertson and Robertson & Bradshaw?
Bradshaw suing Crown, which previously to Robertson Candy Co. was one of the occupants of the same Grenwich building, is interesting. Roberston takes over the office space and takes one of their managing directors around this time. Not sure if it will ever matter to the cards but there is some story here.
