Cigarette smoking was mainly a man’s habit in the early 1900s and was an inappropriate act for women. Cigarette companies began selectively advertising to women in the late 1920s as more women decided to buck the system and decide for themselves what was appropriate and inappropriate for themselves. This 1938 lithograph advertising poster from Chesterfield features a beautiful lady in an evening gown with a carton of cigarettes ready for her gathering. The caption reads “More Pleasure for ’38” and “They Satisfy” at the bottom. Sharp graphics and vibrant colors make this an eye-catching piece that would look amazing in your tobacco collection. The upper corners show some marks from past folds and a vertical fold in the middle. It is marked “Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.” in the lower left corner. 21113-IT
