Phoebe Snow may have been the most famous, fictional advertising character of her era. Promoting the clean-burning coal "road of anthracite" on the Lackawanna Railroad beginning in 1903, she appeared in countless posters, advertisements and illustrations, always accompanied by a compelling couplet in rhyming verse, memorably extolling the cleanliness of the line. Images available upon request.
