Hi Johnny - I just want to clarify something regarding your post. The Cobb brand of tobacco was not advertised outside of the state of Georgia. What was printed in the Grand Forks paper and other papers in Arizona and California was a brief story about Cobb having a tobacco named for him, not an advertisement.
The only actual advertisements were run in Georgia newspapers. The Macon Telegraph ran small one line advertisements like the following beginning February 8th and ran off and on for a month.
The only picture advertisement was run in the Augusta Chronicle for four consecutive weeks. Feb 20, 27, Mar 6, 13.
