You Know What They Say: Big Feet, Big Cigars — 1877
“Go to Ben Loeb’s” — 1877 advertisement
by Paula Bosse
Not your typical advertising cut. Wonder if ol’ Ben paid a local artist a handful of cigars in exchange for this great eye-catching art?
An early subliminal ad?

Ad from The Dallas Herald, July 7, 1877.
