Increased business again called for more floor space, so in 1904 an additional six story fire proof building was built next door at 284-236 Second Avenue, and upon its completion the manufacture of package candies was instituted with the production of “Fort Pitt” Chocolates, “Superfine” and “ Swiss Style” Milk Chocolates, “Auto” and “Parfait” Packages. In the early spring of 1916, C. W. Costello retired from the business. With the European War in progress, it was necessary to enlarge the package goods line. The. “Private Stock” Chocolate package was first marketed in July, 1916, and has since been the leader in the line. A great number of attractive packages have been successfully placed on the mar- ket and each year the company has had a pronounced increase in its house brands, until to-day Edgeworth Chocolates oc- cupy an outstanding position in popularity with candy buyers throughout the territory covered. Among the many popular confections manufactured by Weaver, Costello & Co., Inc., are Edgeworth Chocolates, Peanut Butter Puffs, Opera Mints, a complete line of bar goods, pail goods, and penny candies. Particular stress has always been laid on the fact that candy is made to eat and, therefore, must be pure and wholesome, made of the purest ingredients, under the most modern and sanitary conditions. The company has always supported all pure food laws, es- pecially the National Food & Drug Act of June 30, 1906, and was sponsor of the Pennsylvania State Pure Food Law of 1907-1909. At the present time they have many customers on their books who have been buying steadily for forty years. They travel 14 salesmen, a radius of 150 miles of Pittsburgh in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and largely through the efforts of this Company many specialties made by other manufacturers have been popularized in this territory. In March 1922, J. C. Patch sold his holdings in the com- pany and retired. The officers of the Company at present are: E. C. Weaver, President; D. P. M. Loughry, Vice-President; W. D. Sleppy, Secretary, and Wm. H. Wilkewitz, Treasurer. The Directors of the Company are: E. C. Weaver, D. P. M. Loughry, W. D. Sleppy, M. C. Cochran, W. H. Kast, W. H. Wilkewitz and L. J. Weaver.
