Butterettes, Boomers,—are other pieces of quality confection
that have helped to make The D. L. Clark Company known
in every State in the Union.
The increasing demand for Clark products could have but
one result—expansion. Adjoining properties were purchased
and additions made to the factory until to-day the firm boasts
one of the finest and most up-to-date plants in the country.
Cleanliness and efficiency mark every department of both the
Gum and the Candy plant. A staff of department heads that
averages practically twenty years of service with The D. L.
Clark Company maintains the high quality that brought the
firm to the front.
It is a far cry from that little candy business back in the
80’s operating in an old frame building, doing all work by
hand, to the present ultra modern, sunlit, air conditioned
factories complete with all modern machinery and equipment
and employing one thousand people. Locker rooms, with
matrons in attendance,—spotless uniforms, laundered daily,
—cafeteria service—not dreamed of in the old days, are real-
ities to-day. Huge electric signs, the talk of the country—
radio broadcasting from the world’s most powerful station,
the entertainment of thousands—are other signs of the pro-
gressive spirit of this active organization.
The Pittsburgh district can well be proud of the initiative
and constructive effort of a man who has not only provided
an industry for the employment of Pittsburgh skill but has
successfully advertised the Steel City in practically every city
and town in the country.
