Notes

The company later changed the racist name of this product to 'Lucky Boy' licorice. Giveaway comics with this advertisement would have been from a separate (variant) printing run for inclusion in Sample Bags at the Royal Show Bag Pavilion. These were sold for 2/6 per bag, which included an assortment of candy from the company and one comics with the promo ad for the company on the back cover. [Some information from Dave Dustin.]
