Here the Statue of Liberty works as a sales tool rather than a monument, lending its familiar silhouette to a cigarette brand and borrowing the prestige of New York. Advertisers often turned to the statue because it was already one of the most recognizable images in the country. Its 1886 dedication, green copper figure, and raised torch made it readable at a glance. The brand's Fifth Avenue name adds another layer, tying the product to the city's best-known shopping boulevard and its image of fashionable urban life. The picture is a reminder of how freely patriotic symbols were used to sell consumer goods.
