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. + F 1 The original Partners have passed from earth’s activities but the business so well founded on integrity and fair dealing continues. The present officers are B. Dangerfield, Jr., presi- dent; George T. Price, vice president; Harry Dangerfield, secretary & treasurer. These with John H. Dadds and M. J. Brown constitute the board of directors. f At the time of Incorporation in 1901, the present store at 239 Fifth Avenue supplanted the one on Wood Street. From time to time other stores have been opened at strategic points. These are located as follows: 6018 Penn Avenue, 0 © 0 $0
