Doctors in every branch of medicine . .
A white coated doctor poses with his white coated tube of shredded tobacco leaf. The ad uses his medical expertise as a way to present Camels as harmless to one’s health, but steps back to remind readers that doctors are people, too, and that their true reason for preferring Camel’s is the taste. Celebrity testimonials are thrown in, including actress/singer Maureen O’Hara (1920-present), actor/singer Dick Haymes (1918-1980), and actor Ralph Bellamy (1904-1991). Interestingly, their endorsements are meant to represent “America’s Choice,” when in reality, two of the three celebrities were immigrants; O’Hara was born in Dublin, Ireland, and Haymes in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Haymes passed away from lung cancer, and Bellamy passed away from respiratory failure.
