ABOUT US

The Candy That Never Followed the Rules

Image

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.

On the heels of “Choward’s Violet” success, 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 in 1965, 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, Kenneth Pratz and Arthur Pratz, who ran the company until 2017. C. Howard Company Inc. is now run by Michael Pratz and Ian Kessler. The company continues to manufacture the original line of quality products started by Mr. Charles Howard. These products are now sold throughout the United States and globally.
