Harry L. Brown owned a small confectionery store and enjoyed experimenting with chocolate and sugar candies. J. C. Haley, worked for Shilling and Company, a spice company, and had a flair for sales and advertising.

Cadbury Adams USA has it all wrapped up -- in thin little rectangles wrapped in foil. The US division of UK candy giant Cadbury makes candy, chewing gum, and mints. Its brands include Bubblicious, Certs, Chiclets, Dentyne, HALLS, Sour Patch, Swedish Fish, and Trident. The company also makes the retro gum brands Beeman's, Blackjack, and Clove, which it reintroduces every few years in order to cash in on nostalgia buffs and baby boomers. Cadbury Adams USA was formed after then Cadbury Schweppes bought the Adams chewing gum brands from Pfizer for $4.2 billion in 2003 and integrated it into its already existing US operations. (Cadbury Schweppes spun off its beverage operations to focus solely on candy in 2008.)

Cadbury Limited makes the famous chocolate-covered Cadbury Cream Eggs -- and the more we suck, the fatter its bottom line. With a 10% market share, Cadbury is the world's second-largest candy maker (after Mars). Its candy brands include Dairy Milk, Flake, Trebor and Bassett, and Green & Black's. Cadbury also is the world's second-largest chewing gum maker (after Wrigley, which is owned by Mars), offering brands such as Bubbas, Trident, Clorets, and Dentyne. Billionaire and corporate activist Nelson Peltz's Trian Fund owns 2.68% of the company. In February 2010 a majority of Cadbury's shareholders approved a takeover offer from Kraft Foods.

General Custer ran into trouble at the Little Big Horn and Alexander Graham Bell made his famous telephone call to Mr. Watson. In St. Louis, Missouri, Mr. Busch was brewing his first batch of beer. Meanwhile, across the state in the busy river town of St. Joseph, Dr. George Washington Chase faced a dilemma. In those days it was difficult raising a family on a doctor’s meager wages. Drawing upon his previous experiences while growing up back East, Chase decided to open a fruit and produce business. The business prospered and in the early 1920’s Chase built a modern four story factory in downtown St. Joseph. About this time the third generation of the Chase family, Charles, joined the Company.
