Oh, they would have access to the esters, aside from mail order, stores have always carried things like essential oils and extracts. They may have had to look a bit, but they would find them.

They may have also, when finding out if they wanted the hot cinnamon flavor, started with a candy like red hots or atomic fireballs (depending on the year)and dissolved them in boiling water to make a syrup.
