They laid me off, because the company was sinking fast. I worked for them until the middle of 1984, the last year there, making over 1 million dollars in sales.
They then combined their candy making with Schrafft’s Candies, which were made in Charlestown, MA….and moved the Corporate Headquarters there. The company was sold to American Safety Razor, Staunton, VA, somewhere around 1983. They had LOTS of people doing that!! When Stephen Klein died, they tried to make a go of it, but failed. I serviced all of New England, and New York State…but not NYC. I worked with Izzy Stendig until he retired, then took over the area. I worked for Barton’s Candy as a Sales Rep for a few years….I started by visiting the factory on DeKalb Avenue in Brooklyn. Read below for many comments on the history and brand. The brand no longer owns and runs their own shops, though their products are sold in retail stores across the country and online, including Amazon. Bazzini Co., Inc., which originally operated in Tribeca, then moved to Hunts Point, N.Y. The company became publicly traded in 1960, and at one time operated 3,000 stores across the United States. As the company grew, they were known as Barton’s Bonbonnieres. The company began with door-to-door sales, in a one-room factory. They are known for their Kosher chocolate, and were headquartered at 80 De Kalb Avenue in Brooklyn. as a refugee, and with family and partners, started the company the next year.

Still, the movie is worth seeing as it is.Once an institution in New York, Bartons Confections candy is still around.įounded in 1898, their site says that it was in 1938 that the company was started by Viennese candy maker Stephen Klein, a first store Bartons Salon De Chocolat Shops in the New York area. If pressed to find a flaw in the film, I'd say, I would have chosen someone like, Jim Carey or Michael Richards for the father/son scenes as Mr. Due to the incredible artistry of special Effects, what the viewer sees is nothing short of wondrous. Because of the three aging veterans of Hollywood and a well-placed Robin Williams, this movie is destined for Classic status.
Unbeknownst to him, three aging guards, Cecil, Gus and Reginald (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs) do not inform him of their larcenous intentions, nor of the 'Special' magic which descends upon the place each night. To remedy this situation, Larry takes a job as a night-watchman at a museum. In doing so he puts in jeopardy the custody of his son. Instead, Larry dreams of becoming an over-night success with his wild 'get rich' schemes. The boy, like most children wishes his bond with his father was more secure. That is the premise of this film, "A Night at The Museum." It is the simple story of a father, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) who has developed a strained relation with his son. They have the special ability to make past eras of history, rich, poignant and interesting. All Hollywood movies have one thing in common.
