Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Perfecto cigars. The ad has a picture of a businessman sitting in a barber’s chair. His face is wrapped in a hot towel to prepare for his coming shave yet he refuses to take the lit Phillies cigar out of his mouth. The barber, who has carefully wrapped the towel so that the man’s mouth is partially uncovered to allow the cigar, stands by preparing the shaving cream while another man, smoking a cigar, hangs his hat on the rack. The ad headline claims that you can “Enjoy the good taste of a Phillies (anytime!)”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
