The Story of Purim, Barton's
Gift of Channa and Shragai Cohen
Id no. 2000.A.311, Document, English
This illustrated pamphlet was part of Barton's candy company informational materials about Jewish holidays. The story of Purim is told in cartoon form on one side, and a list of Barton's chocolates retail shops in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Newark is on the back. Barton's was founded by Stephen Klein, a chocolatier from Vienna, who emigrated to the US in 1938. The candies were kosher, and Barton's shops were closed on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays.
