'Turnback Tuesday' features store advertisement for Derby confectionery
"Turnback Tuesday" remembers another old downtown business in Derby, the Ryan Brothers Confections & Ice Cream, established by John Ryan in 1910 at 40 Sixth St.
John was a policeman as well as a business owner. In 1911, he was joined by his brother Edward and they located at 54 Elizabeth St.
Then in 1912, John went back to being solely a policeman while Edward moved to Naugatuck. At this point, the business was taken over by William Ryan (relationship unknown), but unfortunately the business stopped in 1913. This beautiful fan was used as part of their advertising.
A big thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
