HUMPHREY BOGART (Lauren Bacall) says: "I love to see a man smoke a Cigarillo."  Lauren Bacall, speaking for style-wise women everywhere, endorses The New Idea in Smoking from the feminine point of view . . .

Amanda Blake and Jim Arness Take An L&M Break on GUNSMOKE Set, Hollywood

September 08, 1958.  Life Magazine back cover.  An ad for L&M Cigarettes featuring Amanda Blake and Jim Arness from the extremely popular television western, GUNSMOKE.  I liked GUNSMOKE back when I was a child and I still like GUNSMOKE today.  The television show had a wonderful cast and really good scripts, and it had the gorgeous Jim Arness.  I even like the old-time radio show version of GUNSMOKE that starred William Conrad as Matt Dillon.  I started listening to old radio shows about twenty years ago and GUNSMOKE was one of the best - just as good as the T. V. show.
