\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For one Halloween season in the late 1970’s, the Lifesavers company released a series of\u00a0 point-of-purchase Halloween posters for in-store promotion.\u00a0 Each one was illustrated with a spooky witch and reminding customers of the Halloween offerings to be had.\u00a0\u00a0 I have four of these in my collection and today I’d like to share them.<\/p>\n

Though produced by Lifesavers, these posters were not Lifesavers product-specific, so they could have been used to promote a general Halloween candy area.\u00a0 My guess is that these were used as an ordering incentive or reward for retailers.\u00a0 Whatever the case, I’ve always thought the artwork was particularly fun and very Halloween.<\/p>\n

Here they are:<\/p>\n

Life Savers, Inc. – Halloween In-Store Poster 4 – 1970’s<\/p><\/div>\n

I wonder if I ever encountered any of these in the days of my youth?\u00a0 I suspect I probably did, though I don’t have any recollection of them.\u00a0\u00a0 If anyone remembers these or by chance knows who the original artist was, let me know.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s Halloween-related post.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
