country wide preference for what to-
bacco experts call Burley tobacco.
Burley is the general name for a fav-
)ri5e Kentucky leaf which is market
I'd under several brands. Although
III smokers do not know Burley by
hat name, certainly every smoker in
his country will recognize BurIey
ghen he is told that itcomeS in those
green, blue and red pocket tins.
Last yearover sixty million pounds
IF Burley was consumed in this coun-
try. Figures show that a very large
part of this was rolled into cigarettes
by men who are partial to the Burley
flavor. This indicated an immense
demand for a real BurIey cigarette.
Sixty million pounds is enough for
| 5,000,000,000 hand rolled Burley Gig
arettes And when you consider that
the total consumption of ready made
cigarettes lastyear was somewhere
| lround 25 billion, it is evident that
the Burley Cigarette was much want
| ed.
So for five years The American To-
bacco Company has been devoting
every effort to solving the problem
of making satisfactory BurIey Gig
arctic. The trouble has always been
that when rolled up into cigarette
form, the Burley flavor was lost.
Something had to be discovered that
would hold this flavor.
Then came the big idea simple
like all great discoveries. 1t was
found that if the tobacco was toasted
the flavor held. The problem was
solved, and the much-wanted and
much-longed-for Burley Cigarettes
could be produced to satisfy theclam-
or Of all these millions of Burley fans.
From this moment The American
Tobacco Company lost no time on
getting on the market with their new
cigarette. They selected one of thie1
best Burley brands, Lucky Strike, for
the name of this real Burley cigar
cite and Immediately began offering
it for sale in leading centers. And i
S certainly proving a lucky strike fo1
the manufacturer and the smoker The
new toasted flavor is a regular ''find'
and new delicious taste in cigarettes
The idea suggested to men in the thot
of that morning toast, buttered-hot, is
too tempting to be resisted.
Wausau was one of the very first
centers selected to try out the new
Lucky Strike cigarettes, because The
American Tobacco Company felt thai
| if smokers took to it actively here, il
was a sure sign that it would be just
as popular everywhere Apparently
they have been justified; cts toasted
is now familiar phrase all over
town.
D. Nathan and c. C. Gentle, repre-
sentatives of The American Tobacco
Co., are in the city at the present time
demonstrating the good points of
Lucky Strike cigarettes. They arriv-
ed here yesterday from Milwaukee
having made the trip in their auto.
