Wins new friends every day

Comments:

The profile of a beautiful woman is placed on this tin sign next to a pack of Old Golds, showing her eyeing the pack with interest. “Wins new friends every day,” the copy text explains. This phrase seems to encompass the idea that new people discover and switch to Old Gold cigarettes every day, and that if you offer an Old Gold to a woman, she will become your new friend, too. Additionally, the ad calls Old Golds “the favorite of the fair,” meaning the favorite cigarette of beautiful young women.
