WM. M. BELL'S "PILOT"

The batch is the same as for stick candy. Cut batch in two, color half red and pull the other half (flavor while pulling 1 ), now take a piece of the white and form into a round piece about 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long. Wrap a thin piece of red around the white, pull out until it is about as large as your finger and cut off in ten-inch lengths. Place all together and form into a round piece. Place the balance of white around it and place what is left of the red around the white. Pull out like stick candy and chop off in half-inch lengths. After some practice you can make most anything you desire.
