Arthur Ganong was the first to make any sort of wrapped chocolate bar which they began selling in 1910 using the brand name of "Pal-o-Mine". The company also was the first to introduce a heart-shaped boxes of chocolates to North America. The boxes were originally used for presents over the Christmas season. Later they started selling the boxes for Valentine's Day. 

A fun place to visit plus they have a chocolate store in the same building.
