NECCO WafersÂ®. In 1847, a young English immigrant and progressive thinker, Oliver Chase, invented the first American candy machine, a lozenge cutter. After a period of initial success selling his exciting new candy, he joined forces with brother, Silas Edwin, and founded Chase and Company, the pioneer member of the NECCO family.
In 1937 the company rolled out the Sky Bar, with an over-the-top air-writing campaign. The candy bar came in four different sections, each with a different flavor, and was called the Candy Box in a Bar. The flavors were caramel, vanilla, peanut, and fudge. The company also produced the Bolster Bar, a peanut crunch bar covered in chocolate.
