fjjfjmfl s P r c a d about Camel Cigarettes
won’t measure a foot high compared
with the pleasure Camels hand out!
Take their mellow mild body, for in
stance. You never puffed-in such
smooth satisfaction. Yet, all the desir
able body is right there. Camels flavor
is as new as it is refreshing.
Camels are as unusual in quality as
they are in satisfaction; besides, you’ll
prefer the Camel blend of choice Turk
ish and choice Domestic tobaccos to
either kind smoked straight. Prove
this by comparing Camels with any
cigarette in the world at any price!
V’
Smoke Camels till the cows cotne
home—they leave no unpleasant ciga-
retty aftertaste nor unpleasant ciga-
retty odor! Thfey never,tire your taste!
Camels are sold everywhere in scientifically
sealed packa/les of 20 ci/>arettes, or reji pack
ages (200 ci^i.retles) in a g/as sine-paper-cov
ered carton. We strongly recommend thin
carton for the home or office supply or when
you travel.
