Description
Black and white 4 3/4″ x 12 1/2″ ad for their fine Havana Cigars. There is a picture of a dapper man staring at the camera through a cloud of smoke as he holds his lighter to the Gold Label cigar that he clenches between his lips. The headline offers “A word of Assurance of Smokers of Fine Havana Cigars” and the text claims that Gold Label is offered in 29 countries and considered “as a symbol of excellence in fine Havana cigars”. The ad shows a Jaguar 70 cigar and mentions a cost of 25 cents or $1.00 for an Alumipak of 4. The text assures us that, for over 75 years, tobacco grown in Havana has been consistently good and Gold Label has bonded warehouses full of this product under careful guard. This will assure the public that Havana cigars will be available from Gold Label unless something unforeseen happens, like becoming illegal.
