The Reymer Brothers Candy Factory (also known as the Forbes Pride Building, or Forbes Med-Tech Center) is located in the Bluff neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
[1] Reymer and Anderson was one of the first confectionaries in Pittsburgh; it boomed during the American Civil War when people sent candy to soldiers, and prospered during the last half of the nineteenth century as Phillip Reymer's sons, Jacob and Harmer, took over the business.
By 1906, when the new factory was built, the Reymer family had left the business but their name lived on.
In 1908, the firm claimed that it was "one of the largest confectionery houses in the world," and that it had 5,000 vendors in the Pittsburgh area.
An uncarbonated soft drink, "Lemon Blennd," accounted for seventy percent of its sales in 1959.
