Turkey Red cigarettes were a popular brand in the 1880s and 1890s, and this advertisement promotes them with a simple pitch: a popular name at 10 cents for 10 cigarettes. Ads like this one were common in the era, when tobacco companies relied on bold lettering and low prices to win over working-class smokers. The brand's real draw for collectors lies elsewhere, since tobacco firms of the period inserted small printed cards into their packs, and those cards, including baseball players, are now prized by collectors of early sports ephemera.
