The American Candy Company is a confectioner specializing in old-fashioned hard candies. They are best known as the inventor of wax lips, though their wax candy division was sold to Concord Confections in 2002 (the division is now part of Tootsie Roll Industries). Founded in 1899 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company moved to Selma, Alabama, in 1939.
