This Trade Card was printed in 1878 and given by "Cheap John the Tobacconist" of New Bedford, Mass. I wonder if he sold his goods at a discount, or he was just plain frugal.

Hello Everyone! I found this Ad for "Mail Pouch" Tobacco printed in script on the back of an envelope from the New McLure House Hotel in Wheeling, West Virginia dated 1894. At first I thought that it was a hand-written note from the sender until I took a second look. I wonder if the Tobacco Company paid the hotel to have these ads printed on their hotel stationery.

I recognized DiMaggio and Musial in that Baseball Ad............

One of my favorite ironic tobacco ads (and I don't have one scanned 'case we avoid selling them) are the (brand escapes me at the moment) ones with the baby who recommends the brand to his dad....next time I find one I'll save and scan it.

Tom
The ad is dated 1948, the players are Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Bob Elliott, Joe DeMaggio, Bucky Harris and Ewell Blackwell.

That's surely a winner Nancy. I bet the baseball fans amongst us could even name each of the players (I can't). Any idea what era that is from?

I Always like the Chesterfield Cigarette Ads with Famous Baseball Players Advertising for that Brand.

I have never seen that brand- so I would say it could be an off Brand.
But I do not smoke so never go over to cigarette areas of any store.

Does this "Tall" cigarette ad qualify as an "off brand" of cigarette.

Tall Mentthols

I like the ads of off Brands of cigarettes, what even happened to them.
Spring the "air-conditioned" cigarette.

I agree with both Bev and Nancy. As much as I hate cigarettes and tobacco... they sure had some great ads in their day. I have uploaded one of my favorites here

Thanks for forming this group... whoever formed it.
