Call for Phillip Morris!! Johnny Philip Morris (Johnny Roventini in real life) was the voice and face of Phillip Morris for many years. He was always clad in a bellhop uniform complete with red coat and brass buttons. Though he was only 4’ tall he was a giant. Cardboard poster shows Johnny standing on the field, signaling a TD as a player is tackled while crossing over the goal line. Of course, instead of a football, the player is toting a very large pack of Phillip Morris cigarettes. Advertisement is 21-1/2 x 29” and matted in green.
