Necco Candies founded 1901 as the New England Confectionery Company through the merger of several small confectionery companies in the greater Boston area, with ancestral companies dating back to the 1840s, When they moved to a Boston manufacturing facility in 1927 they established the largest confectionary business in the U.S.  The US Government began including Necco Candies in soldiers' rations to improve morale, increase caloric intake, and improve endurance and health.  Necco wafers were shipped to battlefields during the Spanish American War and WWI, In 1917 the US Government bought one entire year's production of Necco Wafers and packed them into the soldiers ration packs.  Why Necco Wafers?  Because the product is nearly indestructible, It has a 2 year shelf life and its not subject to heat or cold.
