Bunte Bros.
In 1876, Ferdinand Bunte, Gustav A. Bunte, and Charles A. Spoehr started a candy manufactory on State Street in Chicago. After a few years, Ferdinand's son Theodore W. Bunte took charge of the business. By the 1910s, when Bunte Bros. did annual sales of about $2.4 million, the company employed about 1,200 people. As late as the 1950s, it had over 1,000 workers in its Chicago plants. In 1954, Bunte Brothers Candy Co. was purchased by Chase Candy Co. of St. Joseph, Missouri, and a new firm, Bunte-Chase, was created. In 1961, the firm closed the Chicago plant, dropped the Bunte name, and returned to St. Joseph.

Ad: (Five pages) "BUNTE, SPOEHR & CO., CHICAGO, The leading confectioners -- Just a Word
with you, please: We are such unassuming people we fear our modesty has prevented us from
proclaiming to the public, what our customers have known for many years, the fact that our
goods have been the standard of excellence for more than a quarter of a century. That old
adage, "by their work ye shall know them" seemed to be sufficient in former years, but in
these busy days, if we expect to retain the reputation we have held so long, and guarded so
jealously, we must not only make the best Goods, but must let the Dealer and Consumer know
that we are doing so. Lest we weary you, we will speak briefly, not of ourselves, but of a
few of our Candies that have not only helped to establish the reputation of which we are so
proud, but have aided Chicago in achieving the distinction of being the Great Candy Center.
(followed by three pages of candy descriptions) Always look for the Trade mark, and if it
is on the box you will know you are getting the best…..BUNTE, SPOEHR & CO. 139 and 141 West
Monroe St., Chicago. (Trademark is white "B. S. & Co." inside a black box, inside a black-
outlined white circle.
