Could they be the " Dionne Quints" born in 1934 in Ontario. Their images were used to secure their care and education.
I always thought that quints were only produced with in-vitro fertilization or fertility drugs. When id they start using those?
Funny how they used babies to advertise cigars, seems inappropriate by today's standards. I agree with the Dionne quints.
Yep, it's the Dionne quints. And NO, they aren't ONLY the result of fertility drugs! I have no idea the value, but items with the Quints are very collectible.
Also, not sure how in heaven the Quints were chosen to advertise cigars... That Dr. Dafoe, he covered all the bases, LOL.
Maybe the cigars had "it's a girl" labels on them , you know customary for new dads to hand out cigars.
Great answer!
Our family name is Cremo (no relation to the cigars) but my dad always collected the cigar boxes, this is the first time I've ever seen an advertisement. LOVE this item! I think it's awesome.
