The aim of the author is to present this work in plain common-sense language, so that the average candy maker can readily digest its contents. I modestly lay claim to having published in this volume the largest number of creditable recipes for making candy ever presented in a single work. Also, that it is positively the only candy book strictly up to date that can be of any service to the retailer.
In issuing this new and revised edition, I have indexed the recipes, added new ones, noted improvements in the way of handling old ones, and given a few hints on window decorations.
Since issuing the first edition of this book, in 1897, new ideas have been brought out and new varieties introduced; and it is the intention of the author to keep this work fully up to date.
Wishing my patrons unlimited success in the use of my book, I am,
Yours respectfully,
W. O. Rigby.

CLEANLINESS A NECESSARY FEATURE.
Of all places, a candy shop should be a model of cleanliness. Make this a strict rule and always adhere to it.
