Title:: The D. L. Clark company

Collection:: Economics Books

McKeesport, and furnished with up-to-date machinery and equipment. In September, 1904, the company moved to these premises which were occupied until 1911. This period was a very eventful one in the history of the firm. It was then that they introduced their famous package of food confection, —Zig Zag—which became immensely popular to the extent of national distribution. The D. L. Clark Company was the originator of this type of confection in this district and its popularity has never waned but rather has increased from year to year. In 1911 the property and equipment of a bakery and con- fectionery factory on the North Side, Pittsburgh, marking part of the present site, was purchased, and the company moved back to the district where their modest start was made twenty-four years previous. The above year also marked the introduction of another famous Clark product to the public. After years of experi- menting Teaberry Gum was pronounced ready to uphold the Clark reputation for quality confections and was accordingly placed on the market. The sale of this product reached such proportions that, owing in great measure to the extreme variation in marketing procedure between Chewing Gum and Candy, the Teaberry Gum department was transferred in April, 1924, to The Clark Bros. Chewing Gum Company. This company was organized for the purpose of marketing and manufacturing Teaberry Gum and immediately com- menced operations in a splendidly equipped factory, modern in every respect, and located adjacent to The D. L. Clark Company factory. D. L. Clark is also President of the new company. At regular intervals other famous confections now ap- peared to take their places in public favor along with Zig Zag and Teaberry Gum. Undoubtedly the most popular of these has been the Clark Bar,—the biggest nickel’s worth of quality candy in the country today. The quality of this piece of candy is such that the firm did not hesitate to place its stamp of approval by giving the bar its name,—and the public by buying it in such quantities that a sale of two hundred million bars is predicted for 1925.
