  26. <blockquote>
  27. <p style="text-align:left"><small>In the early 1920s folks living in the rural Northwest Ohio village
  28. of Archbold, knew Almeda Rupp well.&nbsp; She was an outstanding cook who formulated
  29. chocolate recipes into the most taste-tempting creations anywhere.&nbsp; She experimented
  30. for months to achieve perfection.&nbsp; Her judges were family and friends.&nbsp; Word
  31. spread throughout the area and by late 1924, Almeda was delivering her hand-dipped
  32. chocolates door-to-door and was building an ever-expanding customer list.</small></p>
  33. <p style="text-align:left"><small>This was the beginning of a family-owned and operated business that
  34. has spanned over 89 years!&nbsp; Almeda's chocolate recipes are followed today exactly as
  35. she wrote them.&nbsp; Only the finest ingredients and freshest nuts are used.</small></p>

  42. &nbsp; The "Al-Meda Famous Chocolate Stix" recipe was formulated to satisfy a
  43. son's request.&nbsp; Within two years she had created a tender chocolate-covered nut stick
  44. that today is enjoyed worldwide.&nbsp; As time passed she developed the other pieces that
  45. are offered today.</small>
