Here’s a story (click here) about a photographer whose work we’ve all seen but if you’re like me, never gave a thought as to who photographed it.  

Funny how “The Marlboro Man” has wormed his way into our advertising heritage.  I remember being at a party a long time ago where someone went to bum a cigarette.  When the would-be donor offered a brand that was not Marlboro, the bummer wouldn’t take it and instead chastised the  donor for not smoking a “real” cigarette.  Obviously the whole “man” business of the Marlboro ad campaign had worked rather well on this particular smoker, bummer that he was.

As for my cigarette sales in Buzzy’s Country Store, Marlboro Light now called Marlboro Gold, outsells the other brands by about 2 to 1.  And yes, the majority of those doing the purchasing are male.  No cowboys, but some tough, make-my-day kind of hombres none the less.
