Nostalgia

The Whitman sampler was introduced in 1912 when the company president decided that the needlework sampler hanging in his home would make beautiful packaging. It was the the first box of chocolates to include a now-famous index showing the filling in each candy.

During World War I and II boxes of the candy were sent to our troops. Workers would include hand-written notes of encouragement.

Whitman's Candies is now part of Russell-Stover.
