EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a rectangular counter card advertising Drumhead Cigarettes, dating back to 1923-24. Against a dark blue background with a striking red edge, the card features the iconic silhouette of a drum and crossed sticks, serving as an emblem for this popular tobacco brand. Positioned to the right is a pack of Drumhead cigarettes, adding visual appeal to the composition. The text on the card boldly states "DRUMHEAD" followed by "CIGARETTES" emphasizing its primary product. The pricing details are prominently displayed: "10 FOR 4D" and "20 FOR 8D. ", indicating that customers could purchase either ten or twenty cigarettes for four or eight pence respectively. This affordability likely contributed to their popularity among smokers during that era. The advertisement is attributed to John Player & Sons, an esteemed tobacco company based in Nottingham. Founded in 1877, they gained recognition for producing high-quality cigarette brands like Drumhead. As one of Nottingham's prominent businesses at the time, John Player & Sons played a significant role in shaping both local and national markets. This image offers us a glimpse into early twentieth-century advertising strategies while highlighting Nottingham's rich industrial history. It serves as a reminder of how companies like John Player & Sons utilized eye-catching visuals and competitive pricing to capture consumer attention and establish themselves as leaders in the tobacco industry.
