"Jesse put out his hand, and then waved away the green package of
MacDonald's Gold Standard." (154:23-4)

Beginning in the mid-1930's, Macdonald's cigarette brands were adorned
by the portrait of a pretty Scottish woman dressed in traditional garb
and wearing the Macdonald of Sleat tartan. The model for this
trademark was Betty Annan Grant (1914 - 2004), who posed for a
portrait painted by famous Canadian artist Rex Woods. The "Scottish
Lassie", as she is affectionately known, was featured on nearly all of
Macdonald's cigarette brands up until the 1970s, and remains on
packages of Export "A" cigarettes to this very day.
