Nothing cures an irritated throat more than a good smoke, huh? Back before surgeon general warnings inking tobacco with cancer, cigarette manufacturers were able to convince the public through clever advertising campaigns that smoking was actually good for you! Here's a perfect example of that mindset: WWII era Johnny the Bellboy character aiming a large cigarette from behind a fortress of Philip Morris packs and other smokes poised as guns. The large, colorful cardboard display measures roughly 34" x 45" but creases limit the condition to VG at best.
