Fatimas are sold than any other
cigarette in the world costing
over Sc.
But the taste isn't all.
IF you do like Fatirnas' taste
as well as these thousands and
thousands of other men do, you'll
find a second reason for sticking
to them for good. And that reason
is that Fatimas will give you
cigarette comfort at all times.
This is why they have won the
name of being as SENSIBLE a
cigarette as a man can find any
where.
They are comfortable to the
throat and tongue. You'll never
experience any "sandpaper
tickle" or "hotness" in the COOL
smoking Turkish blend of
Fatimas.
And Fatimas can be smoked
more freely than any other ciga-
rette we knowof fwithoutleaving
any mean after-feeling, as some
less skilfully yblendedcigarettesdo.
IF you have never smoked
Fatimas-you should try them.

thing they can for themselves
even though they disregard the
rights of others.
Not so with Louis A. Berner,
a poor workman in st. Louis.
He is a man with a wife and
five children. Out of work
and walking the streets in
search Of a job he found a dia-
mOnd earring worth $3.50. To
most men in his circumstances
the temptation would have
been strong to sell the gem and
pocket the coin for his own
use. Berner restored the ear
ring to its owner and said he
had felt no temptation to keep
it. His conception of honesty
required him to seek the right.

his own convictions. He mani
