This image provided by the New York Public Library, is from a current exhibit at the library that features cigarette ads from the 1920s through the '50s when the tobacco industry used trustworthy figures to suggest that smoking was harmless. In an age when smoking is barely tolerated in polite society, it's hard to remember when cigarette companies used doctors, athletes - even Santa Claus - to endorse their products.
