We are lucky to have a variety of advertising materials for this series thanks to the research of Bob Thomas and Mick McNeill who have provided the following scans. These article/adverts, from a variety of British newspapers*, are a great piece of social history and demonstrate the huge difference in the way that smoking is regarded nowadays to how it was back in the 1920s: “Cool and sweet in smoking”!
And, there’s even a Huddersfield Town specific one in there. Bliss … 😉
Feel free to comment if you wish.

Thanks for posting those Roger, they are fantastic, not seen any before. And cheers Bob [and Mick] for finding them, great stuff.
It would also be nice to get my hands on an empty packet. They’re like hen’s teeth too.
