Abstract:
In the early 1940s, the Washington tobacco market attempted to become competitive in lucrative tobacco markets. Employing ingenuity and creativity to the company's advertising scheme, the solution was to organize a traveling show. The group of men travelled to rural communities in Washington to sing and tell anecdotes, generally entertaining the crowd and promoting the product.
