Miner's Cream Chewing Candy
A hand-lettered street vendor's bin is set on a wooden stand, proclaiming "Miner's Cream Chewing Candy" with its proprietor dressed in white "ice cream" suit and cap, brandishing a miner's pick hammer to chip pieces of the candy off the big hunk of it in the cart. Probably sold at fairs and parades, this local candy brand seems to have had a short run, as mentions of it appear to be nonexistent.
