Don't forget Bowman and the Philadelphia gum company. A friend of mine's father, Edward Fenimore was a Vice President of Bowman before he established the Philadelphia Gum Company in Haverford, PA. Previously, he was a professor of engineering at UPENN. Philadephia gum's main business was confectionary's though it obtained a license from the NFL to produce football cards from 1964 through 1967.

Keep in mind also that Topps was NOT really a Pennsylvania company. They did move their warehouses and printing facilities to PA in the mid-Sixties, but they were essentially a Brooklyn-based company. I believe they kept their offices in NYC after the Sixties, although after the original family sold the business, it's possible they moved elsewhere. Still, in terms of its founding and growth as a confectionary giant, Topps was NY, not PA.
