Here a tennis player, Vincent Richards, lends his name and athletic reputation to a Lucky Strike cigarette advertisement. Richards was one of the leading American players of the 1920s, a period when tennis stars were prized for endorsements. Tobacco companies of that era regularly paid athletes to vouch for their products, presenting smoking as healthful and modern. Such ads offer a window into how sports celebrity and consumer marketing were becoming intertwined.
