    Remarks: 
    The sculpture is one of two originally located at the Lifesaver candy manufacturing plant in Port Chester, New York; it was moved to its current location after the plant closed. The sculpture was installed at its present location under the sponsorship of the local Rotary Club and is dedicated in honor of Edward John Noble (1882-1958). Noble purchased the candy mint from its inventor Clarence Crane of Cleveland, Ohio) and he devised the tinfoil wrapping for distribution. Noble later founded the Port Chester plant in New Yor. The structure supporting the sculpture was created by engineer John Cook.
