Half and Half
Black and white 9" x 13" ad for their Tobacco for Pipe or Cigarette. One of the purposes of this test is to prove to the public that the smell of a Pipe Tobacco is very relevant and important to its taste. There are two pictures of a man smoking a pipe and the headline asks you to "Make this test with your pipe tobacco!". In the first picture the man is pinching his nose as he smokes his pipe so he can only taste the tobacco, not smell it too. In the second picture he has released his nose and is smiling as he is now able to smell as well as taste his tobacco and the pleasure of it has returned. The text makes the claim that the makers of Half and Half have purposely tried to produce a pipe tobacco that has a smell that will contribute to the wonderful taste. The ad also illustrates their Telescope Tin which allows you to compress the size of the container as you use up the tobacco inside of it. This allows you to more easily reach the bottom of the tin and retrieve your tobacco.

Then, in picture #2, we see Mert sitting alone, very despondent, and the text saying "So Mert just sat and smoked his pipe and wished he could be one of the gang. (Of course, since he was smoking MODEL, he didn't feel too bad)". In picture #3, at the area where tobacco was bought, "Then one day, as one of the boys was heading for the 5:27, he noticed Merton buying some tobacco. What struck him was the way Merton opened the pouch and sniffed and smiled as though he had answered the sixty-four dollar question". Then, in picture #4, we see the current seating situation and "Hmmm. says the commuter. And soon he and the regulars decided that anyone smart enough to choose his tobacco by smell was worth cultivating. Now you ought to see the way the boys make room for Merton when the bridge game starts". The claim at the bottom of the page says that "Maybe you don't like bridge and wouldn't play if they paid you. But if you want to make friends = make a date with MODEL.

Three color 5" x 14" ad for their Crimp Cut Long Burning Pipe and Cigarette Tobacco. There is a picture of a lady standing with her coat and hat on while talking to a man who is smoking a pipe. Her face is crossed with a huge smile and she is listening intently to him but the headline has her thinking "He's got 'good taste'...he's got P.A.". There is an asterisk by the P.A. that tells us that besides meaning Prince Albert it also means Pipe Appeal. This ad is taller than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
