Contest Entry: Smithbilt Hats
Smithbilt Hats is a Calgary, Alberta company that probably doesn't need to advertise much. After 100 years, the factory is still located in Southeast Calgary and is the official supplier of white hats for white hatting ceremonies. I found this vintage ad on their Twitter. I would guess this ad is from 1950 as Calgary was founded in 1875.
