and interesting piece ofCary, Illinoishistory...
One VintageIMPROVED STUD SERVICE SIGN from the CURTISS FARM/CANDY COMPANY...* I was at first was baffled by the connection between a candy company and \"stud service,\" but then found an online article entitled \"Baby Ruths, Butterfingers & Stud Bulls\"... Quoting:
\"Did you know that Cary, Illinois, was once the cattle-breeding capital of the United States? It may further surprise you to learn that this lofty place in the nation’s pastoral landscape owed its existence to one man’s boyhood dreams and a financial empire built on candy bars.
McHenry County’s most celebrated farm in the 1940s and 50s was indeed built on Baby Ruths and Butterfingers. A man named Otto Schnering, the “U.S. Candy Bar King,” brought that fame to Cary when it was still a rural town of fewer than 1,000 residents. Sales of his Curtiss Candy Co.’s signature snacks had topped $1 million per week, and Schnering parlayed that fortune into a farming enterprise based in southeastern McHenry County that changed the cattle-breeding industry forever.\"
