The Story Of The Negro*$ Rale In The
Tobacco industry
INSTALLMENT VH
. ..Farming, teaching, research,
study, a long history, a dozen
different levels of manufacture-
all this exciting activity must
be going somewhere.
You’re absolutely right—it
goes to the millions of smokers
who buy P. Lorillard products.
Who buys tobacco, and why,
and how to influece them to
perfer a particular brand, is the
business of P. Lorillard Com
pany’s many-faceted advertis
ing, merchandising and public
relations programs.
And this is where Negroes,
as eldquent spokesmen, have
come to play an important part
in the final link of the tobacco
story—the advertising and pro
motion which Introduces P. Lo
rillard tobacco products to the
many-hued American consu
mer.
Advertising takes
forms. As one of the
many
nation’s
largest ranking advertisers, P.
Lorillard uses aU of them to an
impressive degree. On television
and radio, Old Gold-sponsored
talent shows demonstrate the
fact that outstanding talent
exists among all racial groups-
and perform, we believe, a fine
service in educating the public
to the fact. Inspiring success
stories have emerged from those
programs. A recent example is
when a-teen-age, willowy, pops
singer whose debut on an Old
Gold TV show marked the be
ginning of a rapidly rising en
tertainment career. - In every
case, P. Lorillard sponsorship
of quiz programs has resulted
in the frequent appearance of
Negro guests and contestants.
Cash prizes, scholarships and
contracts reward successful per
formers like the Negro pops
singer and delighted audiences
smile and, perhaps, reinforce
their satisfaction by reaching
for another Old Gold.
In prominent placet in most
of America’s large cities, the
winsome face of a Negro model
smiles down at thousands of
passersby, encouraging them to
ehtulate her choice of Old
Golds. The appearance of Ne
gro and white personalities on
Old Gold posters is part, ot a
continuing campaign to influ
ence the brand preference of
smokers of all racial groups and
national origins. '
Special events, too, find P,
Lorillard products in the spot
light,* whether they are held in
Negro, white or mixed com
munities. Recently, for ex
ample, when The Courier, lar
gest weekly Negro newspaper,
presented awards to the wln-
