The marvel candy instructor

Preface

In writing this book, I give you my experience of several years ; having tried these recipes, I am in position to warrant them to be practical in every way. By carefully following the instructions, you will be able to make as fine a line of candies as you see in any of the fine large confectionaries in the large city. If you should fail on any of these recipes, it will be because you fail to follow instructions . In my experience I find that I could not pay too much attention to the recipes and instructions, until I could make the candy without looking at the recipe.

Now, I can say that I have not only made candy from, or without the recipes of others, but have written recipes from my own experience. I will give you the benefit of them with the others that I have tried and proven to be successful.

In writing this book I will endeavor to have it complete in every way. I have arranged the recipes and instructions so as to have an index in the front of this book-

While this book was intended for those that never made candy, it contains some very valuable recipes and intructions that are a credit to candy makers and they will be well paid for the money and time spent on this book. It is also valuable to those that are in business as well as those that would like to go in for themselves, and if you never intend to start in the candy business or work for any one that is in it, it is worth the price of this book to know how one can get into business for themselves.

I give you several hundred recipes and any one of them is worth the price of this book. The recipes and instructions will be given so that any one wishing to make candy at home can do so, as it can be made on a small scale as well as a large one. As for tools, it takes tools to make candy as well as it does to cook, and the same tools that you use in the kitchen will do to make candy in a small way, or to learn with ; but if you expect to make candy on a large scale, I would advise you to get some tools as it w r ill be useless to do anything without them. I do not mean that you should buy lots of tools, you can buy a few that is most needed at first. I will state later which is most needed, then if you like, you can add more . I will give a list of tools anal explain the use of them.

Hoping with the instructions in this book that you will be successful with every recipe that we have given.

Respectfully yours,

Coshocton, Ohio
