Some more old print ads illustrating that advertising has almost always been an "iffy" business...
Note: None of these companies are in business anymore, these ads are from the 1930's and 1940's. And no, smoking is not a good idea!!!

The thing that is a little disturbing about this ad is that the pig seems really really gung ho about diving and eating some canned pork. 8O

Bland and lard: 2 words I don't care to see associated with food. Plus the whole legs coming out of a can and dancing thing. A wee bit odd, eh?

Smoke cigarettes if you support labor unions! Lung cancer and, and ..freedom!! Not to mention clowns surely inspire one to smoke, er, right? Unless you are like me and think clowns are the creepiest.
