Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that reinforces the notion that Lucky Strike cigarettes were filled with “Fine Tobacco”. There is a painting entitled Sticks’ of Fine, Ripe Tobacco done by George Schreiber that shows a man carrying two wooden poles that have a lot of tobacco leaves tied to them in the process of drying. He is walking toward a building while, in the background, two other men are examining a tobacco leaf for quality. There is a picture of an opened pack of this product with the words claiming “Light tobacco, Ripe tobacco, Mild tobacco” next to it.
