My grandfather reportedly only smoked Granger. He would have been smoking it in the 30's when this ad was current. He died just before WWII, so I never met him.

He has a pipe in most (maybe all) pictures I have of him. It was a longish medium billiard with a band. It might be the same pipe in all the pictures.

Granger is something I visited early on and I remember really liking it, but the nic hit was a tad too much for me at that point. I really need to revisit it, as I am sure I would probably love it and the nic hit would be nearly non-existent now.

I ran across another Granger ad yesterday from 1945 or so. It's a corker! The colors! The graphics! The baseball star! This one has it all.

Eva Gabor was hawking Masterpiece in 1965. Seems like a good enough reason to buy it.

Apparently, room note was a source of contention even long ago!
