Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the cigar created in honor of the New York World’s Fair, the New Yorker. The ad has a picture of a man reaching into a box of New Yorker cigars and holding up one to examine it as the skyline of New York City stands as a backdrop. The ad headline introduces “Meet the New Yorker, created in honor of the New York World’s Fair” and the text urges you to visit the New York World’s Fair, especially the “exciting General Cigar Hall of Magic”. It then goes on to talk about this cigar and asks you to compare it with other cigars, “particularly cigars costing two for 25 cents and up”. The ad again asks you to attend the World’s Fair and to “Meet us under the smoke rings” but to buy one of these cigars first.
