History and Museum Update Old Gold

We are very excited to announce a new volunteer Ms. Morgan Katsarelas, a history and museum enthusiast. She’s going about the huge task of cleaning, researching, and reorganizing our museum collection.
Ms. Morgan Katsarelas
She often finds interesting and even rare things. She’s writing up placards for visitors and even pieces to publish here. I’d like to share one now. Hopefully this will be a permanent  installment. Thank you Ms Morgan!
Old Gold Cigarette Ad
The Old Gold cigarette advertising poster at Crowley actually doesn’t come up in image searches for me, but I’m rather confident with my estimated age for the poster. I suspect it’s one of the lesser-known or less frequently documented posters from the ad campaign. The slogan “not a cough in a car load” was only used in the advertising from ~1927-1941, printing in full color was more frequent in the campaign in the 1930s (there’s several photos online from the earlier black and white advertisements), and those are definitely 1920’s finger-waves for the model’s hairstyle, which is significant because the campaign in the 1930s specifically used images of flappers.
