"People are actually buying them," said Bud Kolbrener, who was 23 when he bought the turn-of-the-century candy firm of Karl Bissinger French Confections a decade ago. The company was suffering along with other small busi nesses during the recession of the 1970s. Kolbrener steered it into safer financial waters by placing snob-appeal ads in ritzy publications. The company's specialties in clude fresh raspberries hand- dipped in chocolate — shipped overnight and sold only in July — and Valentine's Day jigsaw puzzles of white and dark choc olates. Not all the company's products require a bank withdrawal. Mo lasses lollies are among the most popu lar items, at 35 cents in the store or $12.50 a dozen by mail order. The company's four-color cat alog, sent to about 250,000 reg ular customers six times a year, touts its 8-pound extravaganza for $250 as the gift sure to im press. "Be the one everyone men tions for your generosity," says the ad. Other offerings include choc olate truffles at $40 a pound, a 30-piece set of white chocolate dominoes for $20 and a box of 11 Oreo cookies, each covered in chocolate and topped with a candy heart, for a mere $10.50. "This is fun," Kolbrener said, "but you should see the beauti ful things we come up with for Easter." Not all the company's prod ucts require a bank withdrawal. Molasses lollies are among the most popular items, at 35 cents in the store or $12.50 a dozen by mail order. The most luxurious delicacies are "langtrys," available only by special order because they keep only 12 hours. The delicacy is a French marshmallow dipped- first in fondant and then in chocolate. Company founder Karl Bissinger named the con fection for British stage beauty Lily Langtry, who died in 1929 at age 76. The company name goes back some 300 years to Paris, where Kolbrener said the family has died out. Karl Bissinger set up shop in St. Louis in the 1880s and died without heirs in 1946 after selling the firm for $1 to five veteran employees. Inflation in the 1970s, includ ing a sudden rise in sugar costs, rocked all small candy manufac turers. The employee-owners sold out to Kolbrener, who then was making hockey puck banks for the National Hockey League. Kolbrener wooed customers outside St. Louis with magazine ads and a mouth-watering cata log he said has won design awards. He opened two other stores in the area and is debat ing expansion to other cities. The company's four- color catalog, sent to about 250,000 regular customers six times a year, touts its 8-pound extravaganza for $250 as the gift sure to im press. And he raised the prices. "Either we charge a higher price or we discontinue the pro duct," Kolbrener said. "It's all fresh ingredients. That's one of the reasons we charge more." He insists on real cream, eggs and butter, and goes on over seas buying trips for ingre dients. Kolbrener expects business to continue improving. While peo ple have become more health conscious, he said, they also have developed a taste for the niceties of life, like fine choco late. "Actually chocolate's good for you," he said. "It's very high in minerals and vitamins. Most people don't eat it in good amounts. "I'm giving you egg whites, nuts and fruits — all the things you're supposed to eat." fany’s” (1961) Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard. Based on the story by Truman Capote.
