Description: 1917 Press Photo Mary Elizabeth Evans, founder of Mary Elizabeth Candy kitchens This is an original press photo. Mary Elizabeth Evans, known throughout the nation as Mary Elizabeth, the maker of the famous sweets, has solved the problem of making the candies without using large quantities of sugar, which is so scarce, by the substitution of honey, molasses, maple sugar, fruits, nuts, raisins and chocolate. Miss Evans recently visited Mr. Herbert Hoover, Federal Food Administrator, his assistant Dr. Wilbur and Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Dr. Taylor and these two important facts have been the result. One is what the human being needs sweets, and that they can be made just as tasty with the use of the substitutes mentioned above. The story of Mary Elizabeth and her candy kitchen is one of those stories from real life that has all the charm of some tale of fiction. It is the story of a young girl, fifteen when she started her enterprise, without business experience, without capital, but with an idea, courage and a sincere belief in human nature and herself. The real ... than these convictions made good for Miss Evans is evidenced by the complete success of her candy kitchens.Photo measures 8 x 10.25inches. Photo is dated 12-24-1917.
