Cherished Icons in Tobacco Ads The tobacco industry made every effort to associate itself with noble institutions, patriotic themes, and cultural icons connoting respectability. Among the innumerable examples are: George Washington, Mt Rushmore, British royalty, the US flag, and the Statue of Liberty, the Capitol, referees, astronauts, and even the beloved family pet.. Even more prevalent were cultural symbols which brought to mind happy times and celebration. Our collection includes dozens of examples of ads featuring Santa Claus, often puffing away with obvious pleasure on one or another of the American Tobacco Company’s cigarettes, cigars or pipes.
