The rectangular counter card is beautifully designed with embossed text that adds depth and elegance to the overall composition. In the center of the card, two packs of medium-strength tobacco take prominence, enticing potential customers with their quality. The text on the card proudly displays the product's price - "41/2D per 1oz pkt" and "9D per 2oz pkt" making it clear that this smoking mixture offers great value for money. The iconic John Player & Sons logo is prominently featured on this advertising piece, indicating its origin at Castle Tobacco Factory in Nottingham.
