Lucky Strike cigarettes were among the best-selling American brands of the early twentieth century, and this magazine advertisement shows the brand's marketing reaching well beyond the tobacco shop. Its title, "Off to the auctions," points to a scene of people heading out to a sale, a setting chosen to tie the cigarette to fashionable leisure. Advertisements like this one were part of a broader shift in which tobacco companies used glossy illustration and recognizable everyday situations to sell smoking as sophisticated and modern. Notice how the image makes the product seem like a natural companion to an outing, a sign of how consumer advertising of the period worked.
