From: Mountain View, CA
Comments: Dear Dan Smith Candies,
My aunt (Adi Gelfand, may she rest in peace) was the reason you have the Star of David mints now on your Christmas page. She was an amazing woman, a real mover and shaker around the community (lived in Ridgway for so many years, but was always driving to Pittsburgh and all over PA to visit family; she was originally born in Vienna Austria). I'll always remember her fussing around to make sure there was always a supply of the Dan Smith mints at every Mehr and Gelfand family gathering. We'll miss her, but we have your mints to remember her by. Thanks very much for keeping up a tradition of ours.
Sincerely,
Mike Mehr, age 55
Mountain View, CA (it's near San Francisco)
PS> I may be in town with my Mom to visit a friend over Victorian Christmas weekend, perhaps we could stop by for a visit. Are you open on Saturdays?

SOOOO GOOD!

Comments: My first job was at Dan Smith's when I was 16. I learned to make root beer milkshakes and sundaes with chocolate ice cream and p'nut butter fudge topping. YUMM! I remember one December weekend working in the candy factory putting the candies on top of the mint candies. My sweater smelled like mint for days! What memories. So glad to be able to order some of the BEST CHOCOLATE for Christmas in Florida. Keep on making the best.

Comments: I am so grateful that a friend from work, Jody, received care packages from Dan Smiths and brought them to work and shared with all of us! Can you imagine?! We all quickly devoured the candy and decided it was the most delicious candy ever. 10 years later, I'm still SO grateful to Susan who helps me with my orders. We get thank you notes from friends, physicians and neighbors each year telling us how much they love Dan Smith's candies. Don't ever quit making candy or we won't be welcomed at Christmas, our neighbors won't speak to us, our friends won't call and our physicians, well, who knows!

Comments: Our family traveled from Missouri to Pennsylvania last year during our vacation. While driving we stopped in a little town called Clarion and came upon your store. We absolutely fell in love with your peanut butter patties! We bought several boxes to take back to Missouri with us but sadly they did not last. Our children Jack (10) and Jasmine (8) found the chocolate and ate it along the way.
P.S. Have you though about advertising your store on Facebook? People like me who had never heard of this store will be pleasantly surprised when they discover the wonderful candies you have!

I always make a stop at your Brookville shop when I visit or request a box when a family member makes a trip to PA. I hope your business continues to make wonderful confections for many more generations.
