Description
Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that compares the Statue of Liberty with L & M cigarettes. There are two pictures in this ad, one is a close-up of the face of the Statue of Liberty and the caption says she is “Still young and beautiful at age 75! They said it couldn’t be done…But America’s most famous lady does it!”. The text talks about this gift from the French 75 years ago and reminds us what words are engraved upon this icon. The lower picture shows a couple standing close together and smoking L & M cigarettes, the man is conveniently holding the pack up to be read, with the Statue of Liberty standing proudly in the background. The caption for this picture says “A cigarette that’s Low in tar with More taste to it! They said it couldn’t be done…but L & M does it!”. The text encourages you to see Miss Liberty when you are in New York but asks you to enjoy an L & M right now.
