The New Way to Buy Confectionery" makes its pitch around a change in how candy reached customers, and the Necco name points to the Boston firm that became one of the best-known American candy makers. The New England Confectionery Company was formed in 1901 by merging several local candy businesses, and its products, including the Necco wafer and the Sweethearts conversation hearts, were sold widely across the country. Ads of this era often promoted packaged candy over loose sweets scooped from bulk bins, so the headline reflects a broader shift in how Americans shopped for treats.
