Yes, you read that right. Candyman was one of the professions
of Ramon F. Adams, a prominent author on the west and cowboys. He was born in Moscow,
Texas in 1889, trained as a violinist before a wrist injury ended his musical career
as teacher and player. After being injured, he bought a candy store in Dallas
(his wife had always been interested in the business), and turned it into a
successful retail and wholesale business, selling Texas style candies branded Burnt
Offerings, Texas Pecandy and Pastelillos in the store and through large department
stores like Neiman Marcus. On the occasion of his birthday, a short article about him.
