Description: Really nice wholesale promotional sales flyer from Luden’s Inc of Reading Pennsylvania. 1957. 8 ½” x 11” and 16 pages. All in full color. Products are shown in their original packaging. Chocolate bunnies, cream eggs, hollow eggs, jelly eggs, cream filled bunnies, and more traditional candy and cough drops. William H. Luden (1859-1949) was the developer of the menthol cough drop and founder of the Luden’s company and brand. Luden launched a backroom candy business in 1879 in the rear of his father’s jewelry shop at 35 N. 5th St., Reading, Pennsylvania. An early product was “moshie,” a Pennsylvania Dutch (German-American) candy made with brown sugar and molasses. Luden collaborated with a pharmacist to develop a cough drop formula. He colored his cough drops amber instead of the red associated with cough drops at the time. William Luden retired in 1927. The firm only grew even larger when Luden retired and Food Industries of Philadelphia and the Dietrich family bought the company in the late 1920s. In 1936, William Luden created the 5th Avenue candy bar. When it celebrated its centennial, technically a year or two late, in 1981, Luden’s had enjoyed 100 years of uninterrupted prosperity. Hershey Chocolate purchased the Reading plant at 200 N. Eighth Street and at 210, 212, 214 and 216 Poplar Street from the Dietrich Corp. in 1987. Really clean except for a black grease pencil date on the cover.
