C. Howard Company Inc. was started by Charles Howard, of New York City in the early 1930's. Mr. Howard , in search for a "unique and different flavored candy", concocted a delightful confectionary mint called, "Choward's Violet", in a small industrial loft on Broadway.
His first retailing experience was selling "Choward's Violet" on the street corners in Manhattan, where the product's reputation grew. Mr. Howard then introduced to New Yorkers a purple colored gum tablet, and named it "Choward's Scented Gum". In years to come, Charles Howard expanded his candy line to include Choward's Peppermints, Spearmints, and Lemon Mints.
Upon the passing of Mr. Howard, the company carried on under the leadership of Elizabeth Juhase, a long time valued employee. In the 1970's, Elizabeth enlisted the help of her nephews, who to this day operate the company as a family concern. The company continues to manufacture the original line of quality products started by Mr. Charles Howard. These products are now sold through out much of the United States as well as Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Hit read more to see the rest of the products.
