Much a plan adopted in this county

ways toward casing the* financial de

to mail out statements of accounts

nothing hut empty promises when It 1^,

THAT'S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS ? the Quality Cigarette.
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It's the best packing science has. devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside ? secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack
age and keep it air-tight.
And note this! There's nothing flashy about the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
thai must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels Wuiiderlu! and exclusive Quality wins on
meri' alune.
iiec.iuse, men smoke Camels v/ho want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga
retty a fterriste.
Camels are made lor men who think for them
selves.
