Since the first explorers landed in
America, tobacco has played a significant role in our history, making
fortunes for tobacco farmers and manufacturers. And, to increase
profits, advertising has been used since the beginning, with all manner of
images utilized on the labels to lure target markets. From George
Washington, to animals, to provocative women, these campaigns displayed it
all.
Sometimes, the ads were so provocative,
colorful, or interesting, that they were displayed upon the walls of
saloons, much like they are today.
