Its slogan, "think of something pleasant," sets this advertisement apart from the other food pictures on the board, because it sells a mood as much as a candy. Life Savers were created in 1912 by Clarence Crane, a Cleveland candy maker who shaped his peppermints into rings that resembled a ship's life preserver. The ring-shaped roll became a familiar sight in American stores through the twentieth century, and ads like this one helped turn a simple mint into an everyday habit.
