Roger Maris Camel Magazine Ad

The Roger Maris "Have a real cigarette_ Camel" R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. ad campaign started in 1961 with an ad featuring the World Champion New York Yankees. Featured in the ad are Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, Bill Showron, and Roger Maris "Mr. Home Run" at the top. Roger was also a 1962 smoke blower on the famous Camel Cigarettes Claridge Hotel advertising sign in Times Square.

The sign was installed in 1941 on the facade of the Claridge Hotel at West 44th Street and Broadway. Every four seconds, from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., the smoker exhaled a perfect “O” from his mouth, using steam from the hotel heating system.

The 1962 Roger Maris "Have a real cigarette_ Camel" magazine ad pictures Maris leisurely having a Camel cigarette, with the quote "For a smooth rich-tasting smoke, you can't To Camels" Roger Maris New York Yankees. At the top of the ad, picturing hands and bat reads: "Reaching for the Record Books!, These hands rewrote the records with a baseball bat. They're the hands of Roger Maris...the man who hit 61 home runs in '61. Roger smokes Camels. He likes 'em. Gets real enjoyment every time he lights up!"

Back cover advertisements include: August 14, 1962 Look magazine, October 6, 1962 Saturday Evening Post; September 1962, Successful Farming Magazine; October, 1962 Sport magazine (Willie Mays cover) and August 4, 1962 TV Guide.
