I can not take credit for this one; this was sent to me but I had to share. The commentary is not mine, either (I wish it was).
Enjoy and reminisce about the good old days!

Brace yourself -- the copy reads: Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn't have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you'd like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks. Such as our new automatic wash wear blend of 65% "Dacron" and 35% rayon-incomparably wrinkle-resistant. About $12.95 at plush-carpeted stores. ...are you kidding me?!!.... This is just wrong on every level.
More doctors did smoke Camels, because doctors were mailed all the free Camel cigarettes they wanted. Doctors who were smokers, given free Camels, would of course smoke them, over brands they would have to pay for. This allowed the tobacco company R. J. Reynolds to correctly state in their ads that more doctors smoked their brand. At this time in history, there was much doubt about the health safety of smoking cigarettes, so showing doctors "choosing" Camels to smoke, implied no health risk when smoking this brand. After all, these were medical doctors smoking all these Camels, not construction workers. Some excerpts from the ad above: It says- "this young man is 11 months old- and he isn't our youngest customer by any means.
