Tootsie Roll is the star here, but this ad turns to a small companion product: the Nut Tootsie Roll, a version of the chewy chocolate candy with chopped nuts folded into the caramel-flavored base. The slogan "making the world sweeter" points to the brand's long-running pitch that a few cents bought a lot of sugar-driven cheer. Tootsie Rolls date to the early 1900s, when Leo Hirshfield created the candy and its name, and they became a staple of penny counters and wartime rations. Advertisements like this one show how the company kept reinventing a simple, inexpensive candy for shoppers.
