Tobacco is the type of product advertised, but I'm looking for a brand name and a certain method of advertising. Sep 20 09, 12:13 AM

Wonder if it's 'Mail Pouch' barns you were after? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_Pouch_Tobacco_Barn Sep 20 09, 4:36 AM

Exactly, Peasy! I can't find a Mail Pouch barn listed on the Register's official site--I think you have to have the name of the barn itself to find it. I found this in a print magazine, "Acres," Fall 2009 issue, and then across the internet. Greg Puckett is turning that old advertising strategy on its head by using barns to encourage people NOT to use tobacco. "Mail Pouch barns once numbered in the thousands across West Virginia and throughout the nation. However, because Bloch Brothers was created here, these barns are synonymous with West Virginia culture and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “ 'This barn is a symbol of a great marketing strategy, and to be able to turn it around in a way where we are promoting tobacco prevention says a lot of where we are in our society,' Puckett said." http://www.bdtonline.com/princetonpageone/local_story_183155101.html Sep 20 09, 11:34 AM
