19th Century: Candle as a Commodity.

In 1934, Joseph Morgan contributed in the advance of the candle industry by developing a machine that mass-produced moulded candles. The machine worked by using a cylinder with a piston that ejects candles as they solidified. Because of this mechanized production, there was enough supply of candles and made it an
affordable commodity for the masses.


Today, in the 21st Century I watched the joy on my pal's face as she unwrapped the candle I'd bought her for her 75th birthday  :)
