HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- The Iridor School was founded in New York by Iris Leonard and Dorit Weigert to transform the 'domestic art' of candy making into a rigorous, profitable trade for women. At a time when the Great Depression was narrowing economic opportunities, 'The Iridor Plan' offered a radical alternative: a turn-key business model that empowered women to become producers and entrepreneurs. The success of the school was significant; its graduates became well-known for their 'Iridor' branded confections, which were often distinguished by their high quality and professional packaging. This 1931 Putnam-issued set represents the high-water mark of the program, documenting a pivotal moment in American vocational history where gender-specific 'craft' was codified into modern business practice.
