Tom Burke Photo Peerless Confection Candy 2007
Gone but not forgotten.
It was ten years ago this year that Peerless Confection closed its doors. It hung on stubbornly as the last rail served customer on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line north of Clybourn decades after Reed Candy and Continental Baking closed up by 1984 on the C&E North Line.
Served by three railroads-the Milwaukee Road, Soo/CP, and for just a few months-Chicago Terminal.
Glad I got this picture as a mouse later found it in my home office and enjoyed the candy. I had to throw out what was left.
