Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for the White Owl New Yorker Cigars. The picture in the ad is taken where a man has opened up a box of the White Owl New Yorker Cigars and is holding one cigar up, as though he was going to smoke it. The scene looks as though there is a bridge below it and the city of New York is spread out behind it. The ad headline wants us to “Meet the New Yorker, created in honor of the New York World’s Fair”. The ad text then claims that “We hope you will soon be visiting the New York World’s Fair – and our exciting General Cigar Hall of Magic. But even before you do, you can start enjoying this most extraordinary cigar. Here is a big cigar for the big moments and the big pleasures. A cigar that’s the very essence of New York, and the great new Fair. Yet, the New Yorker’s unique blend of case-aged tobacco gives you both mildness and flavor – flavor you don’t have to inhale to enjoy. We’d be pleased to have you compare the White Owl New Yorker with any cigar you can buy – particularly cigars costing two for 25 cents and up. You’ll see, quickly, that this newest White Owl does full justice to its name – and to your smoking pleasure. So come to the World’s Fair. “Meet us under the smoke rings”. But before you do, meet the White Owl New Yorker. It’s at your favorite cigar counter now, in the striking new Royal Red and White box and five pack”.
