Description
Three color 4 3/4″ x 12″ ad for the calming effect that smoking a Marlboro has. It also indicates that, at one time, someone thought that using a Baby was a great way to sell cigarettes. The ad has a picture of a serious, somber child with a party hat on and the headline has him saying “Before you scold me, Mom…maybe you’d better light up a Marlboro“. Next to a picture of a pack of Marlboros that someone has ripped the whole top open are the words “Yes, you need never feel over-smoked…that’s the Miracle of Marlboro“.
