Default Show your Tobacco, Candy, Gum, Bread, etc. advertisement pieces

Circa 1910-1915

It was taboo to depict American women smoking in the early part of the 20th Century. So, ATC produced this subliminal
advertisement showing a gal of middle-Eastern appearance and dress with a pack of cigarettes.
Furthermore, the effect of the repeated (diminishing) image was a clever advertising feature which was novel in that era.
