Brightly colored and extremely detailed, these tobacco salesman sample sheets are closer to artwork than advertising. Originally bound in a salesman's book, these were used to help a merchant decide which brand of cigars to carry in his establishment. "Knocks All" advertising features a smoking ballplayer, baseball field, a bowler and even a ball knocking down the pins. "Winning Colors" advertising features a beautifully dressed woman surrounded by baseball players, football players, horses, cyclists and boxers. Both printed on the highest quality paper; 6x10" overall.
