Description
The Tootsie Roll was invented by Leo Hirschfeld in 1896. The candy was named after his daughter’s nickname, Clara “Tootsie” Hirschfeld. The Tootsie roll was the first one cent candy to be individually wrapped and was the most popular candy during the Depression due to its low cost. During World War II, Tootsie Roll candy was added to every soldier’s field rations because the candy could hold up in a variety of weather conditions. Today, the company produces 64 million tootsie rolls a day! Is this Clara "Tootsie" Hirschfeld on this sign?
