Fatima was one of the best-known Turkish-blend cigarette brands in the United States in the early twentieth century, and this leaflet promoted it directly to smokers. Advertising of this kind often leaned on images of Eastern luxury, exotic tobacco and sophisticated leisure, appeals that helped set Turkish blends apart from plain American cigarettes. Leaflets like this one were handed out or left in shops and public places, so they offer a window onto how tobacco was marketed before the far stricter rules of later decades. Look closely at the layout and wording to see how the brand tried to connect everyday smoking with style and prestige.
