Hmm... Not sure.. Tallow is animal fat. They used to make candles from
animal fat, as well as soap and other products. That's my best guess.

Tallow candles did not last as long as wax candles, and
sputtered more, but tallow candles were considered superior
because they gave off a light that was brighter and more
pleasant, justifying their messier manufacture and generally
higher price.

While that is true, a chandler can be someone who deals in other kinds of
merchandise as well, for example a corn chandler and a ship's chandler.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandler)
Chandler may refer to many different meanings:
Profession:
* A chandler is someone who makes or sells wax or tallow candles,
and also usually soap.
* A chandler is a retail dealer in special supplies or equipment.
It's the latter definition that most people think of, hence the need
to qualify the kind of chandler: ships chandler, tallow chandler, corn
chandler, etc.
