Summary

Description
English: Photographer: Unidentified

Location: Brisbane, Queensland; -27.46888, 153.022827
Date: ca. 1930
Description: John Macpherson Robertson, born in Victoria in 1859, was apprenticed to a confectionery company as a young man. He bought a controlling interest in Life Savers (Australasia) Ltd. in 1926.
Robertson had a flair for product innovation, eye-catching packaging and skilful promotion reflecting the period when he worked in the United States of America.
This truck was customised to look like a packet of Life Savers. The tyres of the truck also resemble a Life Saver.
