Traditions can play an especially important part in celebrating the holidays each year for families. With Christmas just around the corner, many of us may head north and cut down our own Christmas tree, maybe hang tree ornaments that have been passed down from grandparents, or even simply buying a box of holiday ribbon candy.
If you are like me you enjoy this colorful and yes, very sticky candy each Christmas, but did you know that a Marblehead resident helped play a part in making this candy available for millions of people each year?
The gentleman’s name was Dr. Philip Benjamin Laskey. Dr. Laskey was born in Marblehead in 1845. His family was co-owners of Salkins & Laskey, a clothing store on Washington Street located in the Mugford building for many years.
