Description
Three color 5 3/4″ x 8 3/4″ ad for their Pipe and Cigarette Tobacco. The ad has a picture of aeronautical engineer Bob Hall clenching a pipe between his teeth as he stands grinning while wearing a flight jacket, flight helmet with goggles pulled up on his forehead. The headline has him saying that “Taste is the Test for Velvet“ and describes the product as being made from “The finest Kentucky Burley tobacco…aged-in-wood and flavored with pure maple sugar”. The text reminds us to think “Velvet…the Right Word for smooth smoking”.
