Candy Men: The Story of Switzer's Licorice by Patrick Murphy

The sweet smell of licorice and the giant candy bar painted on the factory wall at the Eads Bridge remain locked into the collective memory of generations of St. Louisans. Candy Men: The Story of Switzer's Licorice tells the story of how tow Irish American families began a candy company in the kitchen of a tenement in St. Louis's Irish slum and showed the world how the American dream can be built upon a foundation of candy.
