Hassan newspaper ad...
I figured to search for an older thread with the topic I'm questioning instead of beginning a new thread altogether.
The Hassan Cigarette window display in question here looks to be identical to the ad that ran in the Philadelphia Sunday newspaper on May 20, 1912. They look identical except the window card is a larger size and the spaces between the bat handles and the Hassan banner are orange in the window ad and white in the newspaper ad. And the bottom trim was added which was not on the newspaper ad. (Whoever made this Hassan piece did a nice job on it. They just needed to put a year on it. And that's the only thing I dislike about what Helmar Beer is doing. They're making really cool new stuff look old and not putting a year on the stuff. But that's another topic.)
My question is how many original newspapers with that full color ad are known? And did it only run that one day with the Plank article below? The non-color Old Mill and Hindu T206 ads which ran in several different advertising markets and even repeated in several different papers. The ad is allegedly part of the back page of a several-page Sunday baseball suppliment.
If anyone has info on this ad, please share! Thanks and hope you all have a blessed Fourth of July!!!
One other thing...why in earlier posts in this thread is Ohio being ripped on?
