Newsboy Cigars

I found this image a t the LOC.GOV.

I am not sure what is more disturbing:

The fact that smoking was so cool that using young kids in a glamorous profession like "paper boy" to help sell your deadly (yet admittedly cool) product was not only condoned but commonplace, or that I found this public image for sale on eBay as well.

Click on the picture for more detail. Check out the kid on the left, he has a bag that says “Detroit Free Press”.

Way to go Brown Brothers, Detroit.
