Old Ad of ITC

Jai Jawan Stall
Lending a helping hand
India Tobacco Company (ITC)
March, 1972

An entity like a Tobacco Company was helping people rebuild life and telling the ensuring stories. Other industries, hit by heavy curtailment in imports during the war, were making a call to the nation – Innovate or Perish. The foreign exchange saved (in the one below - a handsome sum of 18 lakhs annually) through innovation was a nice touch to the sharpness of such Ads.
