Comments

Loriot was a brand of confectionery known as far afield as the United States, from Etablissements Ungemach, 42 route de Bischwiller, Strasbourg(source).

When slot machine winnings were banned in monetary terms in 1937, they were sometimes converted into sweets.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Loriot était une marque de confiserie réputée jusqu’aux États-Unis, des Etablissements Ungemach, 42 route de Bischwiller à Strasbourg (source).

Quand les gains des machines à sous ont été interdits en monétaire en 1937, ils ont été parfois convertis en friandises.
