"This rectangular tin with a red and gold design was used to store and market Licorice Pellets. The name of the product is on the front, and the name of the manufacturing company, Young & Smylie, is located on the reverse.
Young and Smylie was established in 1845 in Pennsylvania. The brand went through several different names before settling in 1968 on Y&S Candies, Inc. Twizzlers is one of its current, major brands. In 1977, Y&S Candies Inc. was acquired by Hershey Foods."
