    Plot: A commercial. Four men sit in animated conversation in front of a billboard for Admiral Cigarettes. The billboard fills the entire background. Beside them is a large box, also marked Admiral. The men are a social cross section: one wears a feathered headdress, another a military outfit, a third striped pants like Uncle Sam, and the fourth (with pork-chop whiskers) is in a suit, vest, tie, and hat. Suddenly, the box pops open and a man emerges in Napoleonic admiralty garb: he hands out cigarettes, then tosses dozens of them on the ground as the men light up and unfurl a banner saying, "We all smoke." Smiling, everyone points to the billboard.

    Movie Quotes: Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Come on, the water's so refreshing! You know, after you finish doing, uh... you know.

    Continuity: The plane that Jim gets into is different to the one that subsequently takes off.

    Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • The first advertising film lodged for copyright at the Library of Congress, 5 August 1897.
    • One of the films in the 3-disk boxed DVD set called "More Treasures from American Film Archives (2004)", compiled by the National Film Preservation Foundation from 5 American film archives. This film is preserved by the Library of Congress, has a running time of 29 seconds and an added piano score.
    • Although made by the Edison Manufacturing Company, a few years after its release Thomas Edison himself became a very ardent anti-smoking "campaigner". He said that, despite what the ad had promoted, that "We All Smoke", he would not hire someone who did. A very unusual stance for the very early-1900s.
