49. They are more for women than for men. They are a slender
cigarette. The taste is probably mild and not harsh, more
for the feminine touch.
50. They show the gals all seem to be interested in sports or
the outdoors and that doesn't interest me because I'm the
indoor type.
51. The women look liberated. They look like they are on their
own with their own kind of cigarette.

58. They are basically for women. It's an outdoor type of
cigarette.

get anything about the cigarette itself.
61. They're a slim cigarette for women.
62. They're mostly for girls because in all three ads the girls
are holding them.
63. They make you happy. They're all smiling. The flavor comes
in both menthol and regular.
64. It used to be that women were not allowed to smoke and if
they did it was terrible. Now, women can do as they please.
It was a competition type thing. If you want to smoke then
you should.
65. Sporting, smooth, relaxing, exciting.
66. I think that they're trying to push the idea that if you
smoke the cigarette you can have a lot of fun with men.
Also, I remember the cigarette being slender.
67. Because it's a cigarette for a woman, it might not be a
strong cigarette.
68. It's a woman's cigarette. It's a rich, full cigarette.
69. Activity. They're all doing something. It's a womans cigarette.
70. Flavor. No let down flavor. It had menthol.
71. That they are to be smoked in the outdoors. They were for
women.
72. I'm not sports oriented so I didn't appreciate the ads.
73. It's like the woman is right up there with the man. Competition,
pretty, sexy, they guys seem to like her.
74. It's for the active person who has so much going for her, this
woman smokes Dawn.
75. It's a cigarette for the rough.and tough woman. Women are
doing men's things.
76. It was a mild cigarette for women.
77. All ads say the same. Marlboro and Winston do the same thing.

79. The ad seemed to be out-doorsy. What they're trying to tell
me is that they're pleasurable.

80. It must be a fun cigarette. Looked like they were having
fun, doing the things they like.
81. The ad doesn't tell me anything. They're supposed to be
slender and satisfying.
82. That anybody can smoke them. Some ads just have women insite.
This is for both because of the picture.
83. They are showing women doing things as they usually do. I
think it's a mans cigarette also. They would probably have
a harsh taste because they are showing the outdoors.
84. They are for women.
85. I get the impression that they are more for men. Because-:
of the sports there, I don't think the women would like it.
86. They are for an active person who is always on the go. It
must have been a woman's cigarette, because only women are
smoking them.
87. They are appealing to women in their ad. They are a slim
cigarette and possible the shape would be more attractive to
a woman.
88. It looks like a mild, smooth cigarette that's made with
the woman in mind. They look like they'd be satisfying without
being too harsh or strong.
89. It's like an outdoorsy light kind of cigarette. It looks like
the women are enjoying the cigarettes and are having a good
time.
90. It's a ladies cigarette and you're something special if you
smoke it. Everyone in the ad has won first prize so it
shows the people who smoke Dawn are winners.
91. It's for the active women, geared for women but is a mans
cigarette. Reminds me of Marlboro ad with man in it. He
gets pleasure out of it, a strong cigarette.
92. It looks like all the fun people in life smoke them. It looks
like everyone is having a good time.
93. Strictly women smokers. You don't see any man with cigarettes
in any of the ads.
94. They are more for young people. They are a winner, a woman's
cigarette with full rich flavor.
95. They're for all types of women.
96. Marlboro's man cigarette - ads appeal more to man -
advertise to a man.

97. If you smoke you get men. Everybody seems to be enjoying
themselves.
98. The cigarette smoker is highly vivacious. She is active.
She's attracted to men, but she's her own boss, a liberated
woman.
99. Women are doing things,Virginia Slims - give you the feeling
women are not equal. It took them a long time to get where
they are.
100.
It's a cigarette made especially for women, a full bodied
cigarette.
101.. They are outdoors cigarettes and they are for women.
102. They were filtered and menthol, and there were horses on
the ad like the other ad for Marlboro.
103. Not as strong as other brands.
104. From the ads you get the same ideas as Virginia Slims.
A woman in a mans role, the liberated woman.
105. Most sports people would enjoy this cigarette.
106. It's a pretty good cigarette. It's not weak in flavor.
Don't like a mild cigarette.
107. For a woman interested in sports -- liberated women --
look feminine.
108. It's a lady's cigarette. There were men in the background.
She looks to be living the good life.
109. Obvious to do with sports'- champion sports.
110. To be a winner smoke Dawn. The picture shows winner of
something like car race or fishing contest.
111. Rnpression of younger set - appears to make you sexy.
112. They are ugly. I don't want to smoke them.
113. They are made for women that they are new. They're for
a woman, more satisfying than another woman's cigarette
such as Virginia Slims. Women have won over the opposite
sex.
114. It's a refreshing cigarette. You could tell she never
smoked more than one drag off of her cigarette.
115. You always have friends around. You have fun. You are
accepted and given a better chance of catching a husband.
116. It's strictly for women. You would be sexy if you smoked
them.

117. The first thing that turns me off is that it is a woman's
cigarette and it might be too mild. It might be more
interesting if it didn't say it was a woman's cigarette.
118. She's playing a part of a winner in all the situations.
It was just for women. If a man smokes them, does he
turn into a woman.
119. Women's Lib -- It's new. I'd be interested in trying by looking
at the ad. It was more today than Virginia Slims was. More
my generation.
120. The advertisements they have about cigarettes just don't
fit in. The women are doing what the men are doing.
121. It is trying to say that Dawn is the Number One brand
for women.
122. She seems to be enjoying the cigarette. It is supposed
to be a womens cigarette.
123. Seems like it would be nice to smoke. Just seems interesting.
124. The man is rolling tires and pouring beer. I can't say
the flavor because I never smoked one.
125. I felt that they were geared toward the female. It appears
from the ad that women are asserting themselves. I disliked
them using the words slender and slim and spirited in the
ad.
126. It makes you appealing. Because you smoke Dawn cigarettes
glow you would be the type who would get the prizes for her
house.
127. Just that it was a cigarette for women.
128. It is a woman's cigarette. Men seem to be interested in women
who smoke Dawn cigarettes.
129. The women were individuals, but they were surrounded by men.
They were very feminine.
130. This lady enjoys her cigarettes from the expression on her
face.
131. None other than they're for women. They are light.
132. Really all the girls are smoking them. This is no time for
a let down flavor.
133. It has a filter that's good. It's a cigarette that's light,
and mild because it's for women. They have full rich flavor.
134. They're for a lady.

135. Well, it seems to me all the ads are a name getter. Well,
they definitely are a woman's cigarette.
136. It was as if the women were competiting with the men.
137. Its seems like it would be a harsh cigarette from the way
it was described. It was like a Camel cigarette because
it said deeply satisfying and full rich flavor. The rugged
sort of woman smokes them.
138. It brings the woman out, the women is included in the group.
They are menthol.
139. They're appealing to the liberated woman, they,'re placing
women in a position with men, being things men usually do,
she's at the rodeo, races, fishing, and it's to definitely
let you know it's a womans cigarette.
140. They look pretty good, and the wording is catchy. "Taste
the triumph." Each picture shows someone who has triumphed
in one field or another.
141. Freshness, from the water and the outdoors scenes are shown.
142. They're made for a woman because she's smoking them. They
also look like a winners cigarette.
143. They're mainly for women because it says so on the ad and
there's a woman smoking them in the picture. They all seem
to have the same set-up with the horse and outdoor scene in
Marlboro.
144. Dawn is for the liberated woman. All these women are winners
at typical male sports. Dawn has the flavor of a mans cigarette.
145. I see a totally modern approach here, they are showing things
that are happening now. The everyday things as opposed to
the Virginia Slim ad that takes you back in time, like the
20's.
146. They're for women, like Virginia Slims, showing a girl with
cigarettes with guys, all having fun. They don't have the
tar and nicotine listed anywhere. They girls strike you as
winners, one has a gold cup.
147. They're for women. There's only women smoking them. They
must be good, everybody is winning something. They're all in
the winners circle.
148. It says cigarettes are for women. It's written on the pack.
only women smoking it - glamour girls.
149. They are deeply satisfying and a woman's cigarette. I would
try them, because they're a new type,of cigarette.
150. Sporty. It's a womans cigarette. The emphasis is on slenderness,
slender, spirited, like 100's, liberated, looks better

151. If you smoke Dawn cigarettes you would become slender, pretty,
and satisfied with people. Dawn would satisfy a woman's taste
more than a man's taste because they're not as harsh.
152. Outdoorsie. I get the impression of space outdoors rather than
confinement activity. The setting is outdoors in all of
them and the overview in the back is space, activity because
activity is going on. Space, activity outside are all elements
of freedom.
153. The first thing you notice is the girls. They are active and
liberated in appearance and dress.
154. It looks refreshing. They might be a mild cigarette.
155. They bring men around you. They make you happy. They are
the taste you are looking for and that's about it.
156. They are obviously winners (the women), and I guess that's
the impression they want to give. They are finished ads.
It's good, they are not just dumb sex symbols.
157. It's a woman's cigarette. A woman who does a man's thing or
is dependent, has a mind of her own.
158.
The outdoor people. Looks refreshing. The packaging is
different, very plain.
159. They are trying to connect it with your appeal to men and
I don't see the connection. They are more slender and that's
all.
160. The liberated woman doing her own thing. They are each doing
their own thing, doing things women don't normally do.
161. They are not for the most feminine women. They are for the
active, sport-active women. Because the picture has them
involved in sports.
162. It seemed that everyone was enjoying them. They seem happy
with it. They're having a good time. They claim they are
better than other cigarettes. They're skinnier and taste
better.
163. All different types of women smoke Dawn. They are types of
women who are doing non-feminine things.
164. They are pushing the sex appeal of it which is very obvious
in which would appeal to women in women's Lib. The picture
gives this impression surrounded by two men and the women
are very attractive as the men are too.
165. They are all about the sports women doing some athletic feat.
You are supposed to be a winner if you smoke Dawn. Everyone
depicts them winning smoething.

166. It's just like any other cigarette really. All the ads
just want you to buy cigarettes.
167. They're for women.
168. They're designed for women. They're slender and so is the
girl.
169. If you smoke Dawn cigarettes, you'll get all the men around
you. They'll all do men's activities and the men like this
idea probably. They're outdoor girls.
170. I get the impression their menthol cigarettes. Everything is
outdoors so it reminds me of a cool menthol cigarette.
1,71. They're mild cigarettes. They're a new slim cigarette for women.
172. Women's liberation seems to be the idea of the advertisement.
All the women are doing mens activities.
173. The cool women smokes this brand. She is liberated.
174. They are light-risk and satisfying. They're made just for the
women. They are feminine and oriented toward females.
175. They seem to give the impression they're for the outdoor,
liberated type of women. The women in the ads are liberated.
The woman who smokes Dawn would be liberated.
176. They are something new for women. They're supposed to have
more satisfying taste. They're aiming for women's market.
They've got a good manufacturer, R. J. Reynolds.
177. It's a ladies cigarette. They're advertising more for women
not for men. It says it's a new cigarette for women. They
say they don't have a let down flavor but most women's cigarettes
do.
178. They're just for a new woman. There is a new era coming. Just
like Virginia Slims, it gives the same impression.
179. I don't like the idea that they're just out for women. They're
exploiting women. They're just trying to cash in on women's market.
180. It is a new cigarette. It's for women only. I'm sure that men
can smoke too. The ads are appealing to a certain kind of woman in
the picture.
181. I just like the pictures. The people they chose and no impression
about the cigarette was received from looking at the ads.
182. Reminds me of Marlboro. The pack does and the sporty ads. The
cigarettes don't do anything for me because the box is so plain.
My attention is drawn more to the ads than the cigarette cause
the box is plain.
