In 1846 Philip Reymer, being ambitious to enter business, 
decided that Pittsburgh, then a city of about 30,000, needed 
a first-class candy store. He associated with him R. J. 
Anderson and so the firm of Reymer & Anderson opened the 
finest confectionery in Pittsburgh. It was located on Wood 
Street, opposite the St. Charles Hotel, which at that time 
was a leading hostelry. After a short time R. J. Anderson 
withdrew and Jacob S. Reymer and Harmar D. Reymer en- 
tered the firm and the name was changed to Reymer & Broth- 
ers. Thirty years pass, the business grows and on December 
2, 1876, the magnificent store so well known to thousands of 
Pittsburghers, located at 124-126 and 128 Wood St., opposite 
the First National Bank at Fifth Avenue, was opened. There 
the name of Reymers’ was inseparably associated with the 
best in Candy. as it has been ever since. 
Soon following this regime J. H. Smitley, Benjamin Dan- 
gerfield, and William Price, faithful employees, were admitted 
to partnership. This partnership continued until 1901, when 
a company was chartered under the name of Reymer & 
Brothers, Incorporated. A better distribution of Reymers’ 
Candy commenced at this time until 5,000 agencies are now 
established in the Pittsburgh District. The Modern Factory 
and Offices of the Company are located at Forbes and Pride 
Sts., Pittsburgh.
