Description
Full color 9″ x 13″ ad for Newport King Size Mild Menthol Filter Cigarettes. This ad, another in their Shadow series, has a picture of a man who has been swimming in a pool and has come to the side and is resting as he smokes a Newport and looks up at someone out of the picture. The shadow on the ground indicates it is a female who is standing with her hands on her hips as an opened pack of Newport with one cigarette extended lays on the towel in front of him and at the edge of her shadow. The headline asks if you are “Ready to try a great, fresh taste?” and replies that “Newport tastes fresher!”. It continues at the bottom of the ad “and tastes better than any other menthol cigarette!”.
