Title
Lucky Strike Bridge favors
Description
The figures of a Swiss man and a Scottish woman “can be utilized for luncheon place-cards and for bridge favors, and are offered in order to call attention to the merits of Lucky Strike Cigarettes.” The user was invited to place cigarettes through the two holes leading to the shoes to act as legs and to put a match in the hand to serve as a stick or sword. On the back was a place to tally bridge scores.
