  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
That's hilarious.  I especially liked the LSMFT (but I'll bet few folks on the forum remember it).
I recall, but I worked in tobacco fields as a youngster. I even used the Lower Slobovian group Mohammed's Fighters for Terror (LSMFT) jokingly in a post once, but I don't think the person got it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Bet the guy in the top turret had a heckuva view!

Did Lucky Strike go to war Red and Come back Green.   Or was it the other way around?

Did Lucky Strike go to war Red and Come back Green.   Or was it the other way around?

Lucky Strike went to war in the green pack but turned white circa 1942. In fact, one of the most fabled
industrial designers of the 20th Century was responsible not only for the white background (when Lucky
Strike's president challenged him with a bet to improve the pack design), he also introduced the Lucky
Strike target logo on the back of the pack as well. Raymond Loewy collected $50,000 on the bet plus
his customary fee for the re-design.

Among other things, Raymond Loewy's designs included:


The Pennsylvania Railroad S-1 locomotive.


The original Studebaker Avanti.


1930s Sunbeam T-9 toaster.


1940 GM touring bus.


1946 Lincoln Continental.


1954 GM Scenicruiser bus.


1939 Sunbeam Mixmaster. (This design stayed with one or two modifications
until 1950.)


1957 Sunbeam Mixmaster. (Made and sold through 1967.)


1953 Studebaker Starliner coupe.


Air Force One livery.


And these company logos . . .

That particular piece of Americana is sitting on my kitchen counter right this very minute.
My dad rebuilt it once, and then I did once (just re-brushed and new wiring)... Works great, though I think the next time around will be it's end...

I was given this one for my birthday last year. It got a complete, frame-up restoration inside and
out and purrs like a brand-new, factory-fresh machine (it was the series just prior to yours) . . .
