One of the most memorable features of the Jack Benny program was during the sponsorship of Lucky Strike and the American Tobacco Company. The show would start with the chant of a tobacco auctioneer, who would conclude, "Sold to American!" The links below are to a Lucky Strike television commercial showing a tobacco auctioneer at work, and then another of a more recent auction.
