Order an Image
Brown & Haley, founded in Tacoma and still in operation as of 2019, began as a candy company before WWI but hit it big with the invention of Almond Roca in 1923. In 1927, they began packaging it in a pink tin, which extended the shelf life. Besides the taste, it was the candy's ability to travel well and keep, that made Almond Roca popular. This was particularly useful during WWII as soldiers could take it with them or have it sent even if it wasn't eaten for months.
