{"title":"Camel","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBull Durham cigarettes of North Carolina were the first nationally recognized tobacco company, but Camel took the lead in popularity in 1913 with a viral advertising campaign, considered the gateway of modern advertising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFirst, the R. J. Reynolds company needed to come up with a brand that would set itself apart in the saturated tobacco market. Most of the brands of the time used a Turkish tobacco blend. Advertisements of the era generally included Oriental and exotic imagery to exude something fascinating, rare, and extraordinary, hence, the logo of Camel cigarettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe first drawing of the camel was very cartoonish, but when the Barnum and Bailey Circus came to town in Winston, North Carolina, where the R. J. Reynolds company was stationed, a photographer went and took a photo of a one-humped camel named Old Joe. The smug looking creature was perfect for the label of the cigarette packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe R. J. Reynolds company ran an advertisement campaign with their agency N. W. Ayer, with Old Joe camel and the slogan, “The Camels are Coming!” (An interesting allusion to the Book of Genesis, though we are unsure if this was a strategic one or just a coincidence). There was no mention of tobacco, nor cigarettes, nor any product whatsoever in the printed ads. Then, on the fourth day of the campaign, it was announced that Camels were a new brand of cigarette. There was a huge outpouring of support and interest from the public, and by 1915, Camel became the top-selling cigarette brand in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1933-ad-camel-cigarettes-r-j-reynolds-tobacco-magician-magic-disappearing-trick-119876-mx7-295","title":"1933 Ad Camel Cigarettes R J Reynolds Tobacco Magician Magic Disappearing MX7","description":"This is an original 1933 black and white print ad for Camel Cigarettes, a product by the R.

The Camels contained American Burley, Bright leaf and Turkish Latakia with heavy additives to achieve the taste of the more expensive Turkish cigarettes.

Camel Cigarettes came into almost immediate success after the tobacco company marketed the product in advance, rolling out ÒThe Camels are ComingÓ campaign that was meant as a teaser to pique the publicÕs interest in the product. The cigarettes were inspired by the Turkish paper it was rolled in and was meant to simulate exotic Egyptian cigarettes. The Camels contained American Burley, Bright leaf and Turkish Latakia with heavy additives to achieve the taste of the more expensive Turkish cigarettes. The flavor was marketed as a Turkish and Domestic blend, and was meant to be milder than other harsher smoking tobacco on the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Camels featured ÒOld Joe,Ó a cartoon camel depicted in the likes of the Barnum and Bailey Circus camel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo short years after Camels entered the market, the cigarette brand became the top selling U.

By 1925, the camel brand controlled 40% of the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\nDuring the 1930s, when the power of radio was particularly strong in America, William Esty brought Camel into the mix and popularized a music series with Glen Gray, Bob Crosby, Xavier Cugat and Benny Goodman called \u003ci\u003eCamel Caravan\u003c\/i\u003e. From the 1930s until the 1950s, Camel sponsored other Esty radio productions, including the \u003ci\u003eBob Hawk Show\u003c\/i\u003e (also referred to as \u003ci\u003eThanks to the Yanks\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eMy Friend Irma\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlondie\u003c\/i\u003e.  \n\n\u003cp\u003eCamel also began to launch its fair share of propaganda during the 1930s, including its ÒHealthy NervesÓ campaign, which included images and endorsements from celebrity athletes, such as baseball player Mel Ott and tennis star Bill Tilden.

A short time later, Camel launched its Òhealthful propertiesÓ campaign, which promised renewed energy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the mid-1940s, Camel claimed it had conducted an independent poll among thousands of physicians, which revealed that the majority of doctors who smoked preferred Camels over the other brands. The company also encouraged doctors to recommend their brand of slow burning Camels to patients who needed to adjustment their smoking habits. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1950s television boom in the United States, Camel began sponsoring the NBC show, \u003ci\u003eCamel News Caravan\u003c\/i\u003e with John Cameron Swayze.

J. Reynolds created the packaged cigarette during a time when the masses rolled their own smoking tobacco. Camel Cigarettes came into almost immediate success after the tobacco company marketed the product in advance, rolling out ÒThe Camels are ComingÓ campaign that was meant as a teaser to pique the publicÕs interest in the product. The cigarettes were inspired by the Turkish paper it was rolled in and was meant to simulate exotic Egyptian cigarettes. The Camels contained American Burley, Bright leaf and Turkish Latakia with heavy additives to achieve the taste of the more expensive Turkish cigarettes. The flavor was marketed as a Turkish and Domestic blend, and was meant to be milder than other harsher smoking tobacco on the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Camels featured ÒOld Joe,Ó a cartoon camel depicted in the likes of the Barnum and Bailey Circus camel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo short years after Camels entered the market, the cigarette brand became the top selling U. S. Cigarette, as well as the first national brand to sell their product in all 48 states. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring World War I and World War II, soldiers received cigarettes in their war rations. When the war ended the soldiers returned addicted. In attempts to further increase cigarette popularity among the public, such tobacco companies as R. J. Reynolds would feature soldiers in their advertisements smoking cigarettes in the trenches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe company promoted its cigarettes almost everywhere, including on billboards, in magazines and newspapers, on matchbook covers, on the sides of barns and in point-of-purchase retail store displays. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1920s, Camel was among the ÒBig ThreeÓ cigarette companies that ruled the market, which also included Lucky Strike and L\u0026amp;MÕs Chesterfield cigarettes. By 1925, the camel brand controlled 40% of the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\nDuring the 1930s, when the power of radio was particularly strong in America, William Esty brought Camel into the mix and popularized a music series with Glen Gray, Bob Crosby, Xavier Cugat and Benny Goodman called \u003ci\u003eCamel Caravan\u003c\/i\u003e. From the 1930s until the 1950s, Camel sponsored other Esty radio productions, including the \u003ci\u003eBob Hawk Show\u003c\/i\u003e (also referred to as \u003ci\u003eThanks to the Yanks\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eMy Friend Irma\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlondie\u003c\/i\u003e.  \n\n\u003cp\u003eCamel also began to launch its fair share of propaganda during the 1930s, including its ÒHealthy NervesÓ campaign, which included images and endorsements from celebrity athletes, such as baseball player Mel Ott and tennis star Bill Tilden. The sports endorsers were meant to illustrate how Camels soothed unsteady nerves and made a person more capable, physically and mentally, to face any challenges life presented. A short time later, Camel launched its Òhealthful propertiesÓ campaign, which promised renewed energy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the mid-1940s, Camel claimed it had conducted an independent poll among thousands of physicians, which revealed that the majority of doctors who smoked preferred Camels over the other brands. The company also encouraged doctors to recommend their brand of slow burning Camels to patients who needed to adjustment their smoking habits. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1950s television boom in the United States, Camel began sponsoring the NBC show, \u003ci\u003eCamel News Caravan\u003c\/i\u003e with John Cameron Swayze. The companyÕs marketing tactics continued to prove successful, and soon Camel ranked first in sales, followed by Lucky Strike and Chesterfield. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eBetween the 1950s and 1960s, the Tar Derby drove a large thorn into the sides of tobacco companies. One of the primary goals of the Tar Derby was to fight against heavy nicotine and tobacco tar cigarettes, as well as encourage the use of filtered cigarettes. Soon \u003ci\u003eConsumer Reports\u003c\/i\u003e began rating cigarettes by their nicotine level. However, not to be washed away by the antismoking groups, Camel swiftly marketed that its cigarettes contained 28% less nicotine than the other four leading cigarette brands. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1955, the FTC banned all references to health and digestion claims, as well as banned such terms as Òenergy,Ó ÒnervesÓ and Òdoctor.Ó Then, two years later, the Surgeon General released a statement linking smoking with lung cancer. Tobacco companies were forced to focus their advertising solely on taste and attempt to establish a long-lasting logo that would resonate among Americans. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpon the 75th anniversary of Camel, McCann-Erickson advertising agency decided to reintroduce Old Joe in the ÒSmooth CharacterÓ campaign. When government officials and antismoking groups requested the character be withdrawn from CamelÕs advertisements due to its powerful influence on children and teens, the company vehemently protested. However, upon pointing out that since JoeÕs reintroduction into CamelÕs advertisements, the underage market jumped to 61%, Camel was forced to permanently withdraw the character in 1997. \u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInteresting Facts:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNews broadcaster Edward R. Murrow, who became a widely recognized figure in America after World War II, smoked four packs of Camel cigarettes a day and would often publicly promote the brand. Murrow, not surprisingly, died of lung cancer at the age of 56. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Tar Derby's push for filtered cigarettes, the micronite filter was introduced to block tar from entering the body, using asbestos. Major tobacco companies also began to fall in line with their own filtered brands, including R. J. Reynolds' Winston cigarettes and Ligget \u0026amp; Myers' L\u0026amp;Ms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopyright 2016, Period Paper LLC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeywords specific to this image: Tobacco  Vintage Advertising\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSEP4A4B1C33 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33532260625,"sku":"052982_sep4_732","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/SEP4_732_70b1fcdb-7be5-47af-b744-a0eb7c0b7953.jpg?v=1571709050"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.periodpaper.com\/collections\/camel.oembed?page=12","provider":"Period Paper Historic Art LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
