South Carolina touted itself as "the Iodine State"from the late 1920s until the mid to late 1930s. from what I have gathered. This was due to the high levels of iodine found in South Carolina produce. Goiter was well known at that time so they began a public relations campaign educating the public on the need for iodine as a goiter preventative in order to sell the produce.
Their license plates read "the iodine state" and "the iodine products state" in various years. I've been looking for one... no luck, yet. I did, however find this lovely first day cover of an air mail first flight.
There it is in capital letters ~ THE IODINE STATE!!!
Unfortunately high amounts of iodine in produce cannot make up for other habits, practices, or our toxic world. South Carolina ranks # 43 in state rankings of overall health:

I wonder, though, what their health statistics were back in the day...

Im sorry, but the link I included is a dynamic link, so the question and answer change. Please provide an email address and I will send the image of the license plate in question. I do not know who to credit the photo to, but it appears to be authentic.
All the best,
