Tough and never seen before Granger tobacco advertisements (5), showcasing the 1936 Olympic high-hurdling American champ, Forrest “Spec” Towns, who owned the world record for many years and was the first Georgian ever to run in the Olympic Games. He went on to hold the track and field coaching position at the University of Georgia until 1975, long enough to certainly give him perspective on this ad. Measures 20 ¼ x 14”, and is in really nice condition.
