American Candy Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Candy Company is a confectioner specializing in old-fashioned hard candies. They are best known as the inventor of wax lips, though their wax candy division was sold to Concord Confections in 2002. Founded in 1899 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company moved to Selma, Alabama, in 1939.
