Vintage Advertising - Alice Roosevelt?!

from "Love Story" Magazine, May 1937

TR is supposed to have once said “I can run the country, or I can control Alice.  I cannot possibly do both."

Smart man to pick running the country instead of controlling his daughter...

Do you remember the ads that said "Three out of four doctors recommend"...whatever cigarette it was? Or when TV shows were sponsored by tobacco companies and at the end of the show, the star would read off a list of VA hospitals that had received cases of cigarettes that week?
Oh! How times have changed!

Alice seems to have been a very... interesting person. But not a very nice one I think. Her daughter Paulina had a very difficult childhood, and a rather sad adult life with a tragic ending.
Not that that has a thing to do with smoking cigarettes!

Bit of a narcissist, I think.
