Bradshaw Crandell (born June 14, 1896 – died January 25, 1966) was an American artist and illustrator. He was known as the \"artist of the stars\". Among those who posed for Crandell were Carole Lombard, Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Veronica Lake and Lana Turner. In 1921 he began his career with an ad for Lorraine hair nets sold exclusively by F. W. Woolworth. His first cover illustration was the May 28, 1921 issue for the humor magazine Judge after which his career took off. Although he began his business as John Bradshaw Crandell Studios in 1925, he dropped his first name by 1935. He was known as a \"glamour\" artist and not necessarily a \"pin-up\" artist; however, he did have rather risque work, such as the two nude water nymphs and a nude cover for the Dutch Treat Club. In the 1950s, Crandall moved from illustrations to oil and portraits. Crandall also created art for the Gerlach-Barklow Co., an art calendar factory in Joliet, Illinois. In 1939 he did the calendar advertisement for Lucky Strike cigarettes. In 2006 he was inducted into the Society of Illustrators hall of fame.

The calendar is clearly advertising four brand name cigarettes that were very popular back in the day. The four cigarette brands depicted in the illustration are listed below. Please refer to description photos # 7 and # 8 for more details about what I have described.
