1949 Chesterfield Cigarettes Ads


These are genuine original magazine advertisements from a 1949 issue of LIFE.

This Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. ad for Chesterfield Cigarettes features the late, lamented legend, Bob Hope. His passing prompted an outpouring of affection, renewed adulation, and nostalgia.

This 1940s ad depicts a smoking "Old Ski-nose" and heralds his starring role in the Paramount Picture, "Sorrowful Jones". His co-star in that movie was the equally legendary, Lucille Ball.

Or if one prefers, the reverse features a Canadian Club whiskey ad. The ad depicts a "Cayman Hunt in Haiti".
