He launched his business in which was then acquired by Food Industries of Philadelphia in William Henry Luden was born in in the city of Reading, Pennsylvania and was one of Berks County's great industrialists.
He started his candy business in the back room of his father's jewelry store in his family's kitchen located at North 5th Street. He first started just mixing molasses and brown sugar which he would call a "moshie" which was a Pennsylvania Dutch candy.
Luden then decided to collaborate with a pharmacist to create a cough drop. In he introduced Luden's honey-licorice menthol throat drops. They were sold 5-cents a package. Menthol cough drops replaced the vials of menthol that people would carry to relieve their cold symptoms.
One thing Luden did very differently than other candy makers and his competitors was that he did not sell his candy door to door. He also tested out his cough drops to railroad workers which helped get the word out by mouth all over the country.
Much has happened since William H. Luden began his quest. The brand was marketed around the world. In the company created the 5th Ave. With all the change, one thing has stayed the same.
