history of chocolate
In 1878 at the Worlds Fair, the
company was given seven gold
medals and the Grand Prize for
excellence, and citations for the
modern production methods and
importance the company placed on
the well-being of it employees.
Menier Chocolate Company remained
the leader in chocolate production
until the end of World War I when
the decline of this once great
organization began.
Posters by Firmin Bouisset showing
a little girl writing Chocolat
Menier on a wall or window began
the use of advertising for Menier
in 1893. This became their logo
and a symbol of their success
recognized worldwide. The
original posters and promotional
items are still in demand today,
as are the reproductions.
