Oh, I know it's a product that does horrible things to human health, but I miss cigarette commercials, I can't help it. Those ads were so amusing and the jingles and tag lines often so memorable. And I remember those flash cubes being all over the house... everybody's house seemed like :-)
Pall Mall's "Be Particular" campaign was originally introduced in the fall of '64. It continued into 1966, as did Tareyton's "Us Tareyton Smokers Would Rather Fight Than Switch!" slogan.
The Seventeen magazine shown is the August 1963 issue here. What disheartens me is that it sold for $30 last month showing how valuable those magazines have become (National Geographics on the otherhand are only worth about a buck from that decade, many people saved those unlike the flavor-of-the-month fashion mags).
@pannoni1 - You can still get good eBay deals on old magazines from those who sell in lot bids -- usually with not much description. Many people lump mags together to get rid of them, not knowing that some may be valuable when sold separately. I got many 60s TV Guides this way, kept the ones I wanted and sold the rest one by one and made about $150 profit.

The flashcube really *was* a miracle of technology. Before the flashcube, you had to change the flash bulb with every shot.
