Black and white 13 1/2" x 9 1/2" ad for their Double Mellow cigarettes. There is a picture of a lady working on the assembly line where packages of Old Gold are rolling by and she says "Yes, Sir! no matter where you buy them, :Double-Mellow" Old Golds will reach you as FRESH as they came off the Cigarette Machine." The reason for this is explained with the statement that "2 jackets of cellophane seal-in the Freshness of the Prize Crop Tobaccos in 'Double-Mellow' Old Golds". The text also mentions the Double-Money-Back Offer that was previously made where they want you to buy a pack, smoke ten of the cigarettes and if you are not 100% satisfied, send the remaining ten cigarettes and the package wrapper for a refund of double the price of the full package plus postage.

Old Gold 54

Black and white 5" x 13" ad that is for Old Gold Cigarettes. This looks like the photo taken in a newsroom where everyone is busy talking on the telephone and looking over the shoulder of the man at the desk and, everyone is smoking a cigarette. The caption for the ad asks if it is an "...all night JOB?" and it certainly seems as though they are having one. The headline to the ad says that you should "Guard your Freshness with a Cigarette that's always FRESH" and I think the ad will straighten that out. "Under pressure, most of us smoke a lot. That's just when cigarette freshness counts the most! For a stale cigarette makes a stake smoker. Stale tobaccco burns hot, tastes flat and is definitely irritating. FRESHNESS is guaranteed to you in Old Golds by the special way in which they're packed. Every package is double-sealed; made completely water-tight by an EXTRA jacket of Cellophane. Be selective about your cigarettes. Since George Washington's day, the makers of Old Golds have been famous for fine tobacco quality. In Old Golds you get not only the finest prize crop tobacco, but you get it factory-fresh in any climate, anywhere".

Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad that lets us know that "Old Gold's Spin Filter spins and cools the smoke to less than body temperature". How is this possible, you ask? There is a thermometer shown that shows the average body temperature, 98.6 degrees, compared to the Average Temperature of Old Gold Spin Filter Smoke. This temperature is between 78 to 79 degrees. It then tells us that "The Spin Filter actually improves smoking taste. Every puff spins and cools the smoke to less than body temperature. You get the full, rich taste of fine tobaccos - the best taste yet in a filter cigarette". The photo in this ad shows a hat with several dogs shown around it, a blue ribbon, a small statue of a dog standing up, an ash tray with a lit Old Gold cigarette in it and an opened pack of Old Gold cigarettes leaning against the dog.

Old Gold 60

Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad that wants you to believe that "Old Gold Spin Filter spins and cools the smoke..the best taste yet in a filter cigarette". The text claims that the "Average temperature of Old Gold Spin Filter smoke is a pleasant 78 degrees...and the cooler the smoke...the better the taste". The picture seems to have a gambling scene to it. There is, from the left, an ash tray with a lit cigarette in it, a pair of dice, an ornate something or other, two white and one red chip and an opened pack of Old Gold cigarettes. The bottom of the ad says "First with the Finest Cigarettes - Through Lorillard Research" and, below that, thare is a banner that advertises the 200th Anniversary of Tobacco Experience.

Black and white 9 1/2" x 13" ad for "The cigarette for independent people". This ad has a picture of a man rowing his boat close to shore while he smokes an Old Gold. As he rows the words "To me, flavor is what smoking is all about. And i'n not about to change my mind. I'm an Old Gold's man". This ad is nearly identical to Old Gold 36 which is further down the page, the only difference that I see is with the pack of Old Gold in the lower left corner. In this ad there is a lit cigarette lying across the top of the pack and in the other ad there are only several cigarettes pulled up in the pack. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
