Mr. & Mrs. Humphrey Bogart for Cigarillos

September 03, 1951.  Life Magazine.  An ad for Robt. Burns Cigarillos.  MRS. 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 . . . As for men, they go in a big way for delicious smoking pleasure in a shape, trim and handy as a cigarette . . . The perfect mild smoke. ------ I could not fit the whole ad on my little scanner so I just copied the best part, this terrific portrait of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall aboard their sailboat.

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.

SANTA Cut-Out Figure from A. W. Nugent

December 16, 1948.  A Santa cut-out from A. W. Nugent.  You might be able to move from the "naughty list" to the "good list" if you start right this second, until Christmas, being extra good.  Cut out and color this Santa figure and use it as a reminder to be, in the words of Bertie Wooster, "a good egg".
