Smith Bros Cough Drops: A Family Story Going Back to 1847
Smith Bros Cough Drops traces its story to 1847, when a small, family-owned candy store began making drops for sore throats and coughs. Founder James Smith eventually opened a New York City confectioner called James Smith & Sons Sweet Shop. When the logo was trademarked in 1877, the word "Trade" appeared under the picture of William and "Mark" under Andrew's, a nostalgic detail that still makes the brand fun to discover. Wild cherry drops joined the lineup in 1948, and in 2016 Lanes Brands, another family business, acquired The Smith Brothers.
Here you'll find two flavors in 4oz peg bags, each sold in a case of 12: the timeless Wild Cherry and the cozy Warm Apple Pie. For more classic drops, browse our cough drops and hard candy drops.
With a dozen bags per case, these are handy for stocking a desk drawer, a family pantry or a shop counter, and the Warm Apple Pie bags make a cheerful little extra for a fall gift basket.
