Photo 32 - RJ Reynolds

R.J.REYNOLDS, who founded the tobacco company in 1875, began manufacturing Camel cigarettes in 1913. He died in 1918, of cancer of the pancreas, after a lifetime of chewing tobacco -- ironically, the same product which established his fortune, and earlier, his father's, in the tobacco business.

RJ married at age 53, and died at age 67, when his eldet son, RJ Reynolds, Jr., was just 12. As a result, R.J. Jr. would never spend much time working in the tobacco business, nor would any of R.J. Jr.'s 6 sons.

In BADvertising Country, artist Bonnie Vierthaler counters the seduction of tobacco ads by doctoring them up to make them honest. By juxtaposing silly, gross and disgusting images on top of tobacco ads, she jolts people into realizing how tobacco ad imagery is concealing the truth, manipulating young people into tobacco addiction. Best of all, at her site you can learn How to BADvertise yourself, using scissors and glue or computer and mouse.Artist Bonnie Vierthaler's email is bv@badvertising.org. No permission neccessary, but art credit is requested.

Above: Marianne O’Brien, late 1944. When she opened her first letter from Dick Reynolds, out fell several hundred-dollar bills. Dick wrote her to have pictures taken of herself, mail him copies, and not to object, because “the money is better spent helping your career than moldering in some bank.”
