What Does the Superior and The Candy Kitchen have in Common?
1937

Mr. Claude Sylvah, proprietor of the Superior confectionery store and ice cream parlour, Mill street, Almonte, has purchased “The Candy Kitchen,” a well known business of the same kind in Smiths Falls.  Mr. Sylvah came to Almonte three ‘years ago from Smiths Falls and bought out the retail stand of the Peterson Ice Cream Co. on Mill street.

At this time Mr. Peterson had decided to devote his time to the manufacturing end of the ice cream trade and to his newly established milk and cream business. Mr. Sylvah was one of the most energetic young businessmen that ever struck the town. He developed the business on Mill Street by leaps and bounds adding a number of new lines as he went along.

Eventually he brought his brother Arthur to Almonte and employed him as an assistant. Arthur will continue to manage the business here while Claude will be in charge of operations at Smiths Falls. The success of Mr. Sylvah since coming to Almonte has been phenomenal and is almost entirely attributable to his ability and energy. He opened in the midst of a worldwide depression in a quiet town and succeeded in spite of discouraging conditions. His many friends wish him well in his new venture and are glad that he will continue to operate his excellent store in Almonte under the capable supervision of his brother, assisted by Mr. Arthur Scott.

Met after school for cherry cokes.

Smiths Falls Candy Kitchen 

One of the most up-to-date ice cream parlours and confec- 

tionery businesses in town is the Smiths Falls Candy Kitchen. 

All candies sold in this store are made on the premises. The 

Ice Cream Parlour is one of the most comfortable and elaborate 

that can be found in any of the Ottawa Valley Towns. 

The business of the Candy Kitchen increases yearly and 

Manager Katinas says that the reasons for his being able to hold and add to the trade are that only the best quality of goods are sold, the best service rendered, and the greatest variety of fancy and delicious confections sold to the public. 

Once a visitor, you will always be a patron of the Candy Kitchen.
