HARDIE BROTHERS COMPANY 
Hardie Brothers Company, manufacturers of candy, was 
organized in 1901, having succeeded their father, James 
Hardie, who had been in the biscuit and candy business in 
Pittsburgh since 1870. The father having sold out the biscuit 
portion of his business to the National Biscuit Company, the 
sons took over the candy business and gradually expanded 
until today they utilize over five acres of floor space devoted 
exclusively to the making of candy. The following directors 
are all actively engaged in the management of the business: 
Edward Hardie, Walter L. Hardie, James Hardie, Jr., John L. 
Hardie, Alexander Hardie, and S. D. McGlumphy. 
The latest improved machinery is used in turning out 
their“product, and the average daily production is 150,000 
Ibs. of finished goods, employing over five hundred people.

foreign markets such as Cocoa and Vanilla Beans, which are 
used in making chocolate coating, come from Africa, Brazil, 
Trinidad, Venezuela and Mexico, as well as nuts and fruits,

Spain, Italy, Turkey and China and many other countries,
