1950's OLD GOLDS
cigarette sign
!!
Please see
both
photos, as they are an important part of my description. This very thick cardboard vintage tobacco sign measures approximately 10 3/4" x 7 3/4", and features red and black lettering on a yellow backround with white borders. In bottom/right corner, the sign features the
Old Golds
slogan that was utilized during the 1950's:
"If you want a
Treat
instead of a
Treatment
...smoke Old Golds".
In bottom/right corner, the sign says:
"4021 - M'f'd by P. Lorillard Co., Inc.".

History
:
Old Gold
is an American brand of cigarette owned and manufactured by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Old Gold was first introduced by the
Lorillard Tobacco Company
. During the 1950's, with studies suggesting that smoking may be linked with lung cancer, Lorillard introduced advertising (such as this sign) to try to downplay the effects of smoking has on one's health. The ads included the slogan on the offered vintage sign, asking customers to trust Old Gold "For a treat instead of a treatment".
