Shaped like a carton of Lucky Strike cigarettes, the American Tobacco exhibit contained cigarette manufacturing machines and a display on the making and marketing of "Luckies." Do you remember LSMFT in the advertising campaigns? "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco." Visitors could purchase and mail souvenir cigarettes to friends in a specially decorated Fair carton.
