Two advertisements for licorice sticks and licorice products make an unexpected entry on a tobacco board, and the connection is worth a look. Licorice root extract has long been used to sweeten and flavor foods, medicines, and tobacco, and makers of chewing and smoking tobacco often added it to their blends. Advertising from this period tended to promote sweets and tobacco side by side, so these pieces show how the two markets overlapped. Looking at the layout and wording can reveal how manufacturers pitched a simple flavoring as something pleasant and everyday.
