- Description
Advertising card showing a circular image at the top with a young woman holding an armful of tobacco leaves. Below is a gold tab with text.
Information received from Peter Miles of Katikati Heritage Museum, that the young woman on the card is Ruby Simmonds, born in 1904. BDM lists one Ruby Simmonds born in 1903, and one marrying an Ollie (Ole) Johansen in 1921, but these may not relate to the same woman.
Riverhead Gold tobacco was produced in the Napier factory of the National Tobacco Company from 1923, using tobacco grown at Riverhead, Auckland. However the image on this card was published as an advertisement in 1945; see back cover of Stan Lawson production "Let's be happy" at Eph-A-CABOT-Variety-1945.
