  1. My grandfather and Mr. Holloway were friends. As a child in the fifties, I remember Mr. Holloway giving an entire box of
    “All Day Suckers” to my brothers and I. They were like a huge milk dud on a stick…………..my favorite!!!!

  2. My mom stepped on a wooden stick from what she remembers to be a Holloway candy when she was a kid in 1940’s or 1950’s Pullman. It went through her foot. I’ve been searching for a picture of the candy and stick unsuccessfully. It comes up in conversation every now and again and it’d be cool to have a visual.

  3. I believe that that’s where we went as children they would have it open for the school kids to come in once a year or something like that and then went to a Catholic school near there we would walk there and then they would give us little candies as he went through just before we started a little tour.
    Do you have any history of this?

  4. Is there anyway you could produce the high noon peanut butter dream candy bar again was the most awesome candy bar ever would be a great business venture would supercede Reece’s and put you as #1candy bar just a thought I really miss them as a kid growing up still remember those just like thousands others do I’m 69 and nothing ever beat it as of yet. Thanks for your time
