100 years ago, tobacco ads linked smoking and the 4th of July. “When Fourth of July bands are playing--and the cannon are roaring out of their celebration of another day of Independence and Freedom--have a Camel!” See the ads in IDL's archive at tiny.ucsf.edu/Lgcl5b and tiny.ucsf.edu/msdFCs
Alt-text: Image of a typed July 1926 magazine ad for Camel Cigarettes showing the highlighted quote from the caption. The full text reads “When the fiery shouts and songs of freedom burst forth on Independence Day. And bands and parades and booming cannon join in the joyous celebration. When you think again that our country and the men in it must be free—have a Camel! For no other cigarette ever brought such liberation to so many millions of smokers. On the day of its birth, Camel decreed the end of tired taste, of cigaretty after-taste. Mild and mellow flavor, full enjoyment have made Camel the most celebrated brand in the history of smoking. So this Independence Day, as you watch our country's defenders march by in inspiring parade—know then the deepest goodness that ever came from a cigarette. Have the utmost in smoking enjoyment. Have a Camel!” People watch a parade, and a pack of Camel cigarettes is shown.Image of a typed July 1926 magazine ad for Camel Cigarettes showing the highlighted quote from the caption.

In 1993, after an Earth Day climate pledge from the White House, an industry-backed group told journalists: the science isn't settled, the costs are too high, & action can wait. Now preserved in IDL's archive: tiny.ucsf.edu/9SN1hM #EarthDay

Republican administrations are not good for business. They’re good for *management.* CEO pay, executive pay, golden parachutes when you run the company into the ground. They’re not about the actual business at all. The actual business does better under Democrats, when consumers have money.
