ELECTRIC CANDY DEVICE

can
Turn out 100
Wafers a Minute.
A hundred sugar wafers a minute are turned out without being touched by the hands of the attendant by a new candy making machine that is operated throughout by electricity.
The process of making a batch of the wafers begins with the pouring of fifteen pounds of granulated sugar, mixed with a quart of water, in a reservoir at the end of the machine. The mixture drops into a kettle where it is thoroughly boiled by electric heating coils, and an electric gong rings when the boiling has continued the required length of time. With the pulling of a lever the creamy mass is pumped into mixing kettles where it is stirred by electrically operated paddles. At this point the color and flavoring are added by the attendant.
