Tobler Cards: Series 8 - Parrots

Theodor Tobler (1876-1941), who gave his name to one of the most famous chocolates in the world (Toblerone), came from a humble background. His parents arrived in Bern in 1867 from the rural eastern canton of Appenzell, and his father, Jean Tobler (1830-1905) opened a chocolate shop. Jean founded his own factory in 1899, and Theodor took it over in 1900.
