AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

Fer a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it IN every
way, just as cooking mDbst foods improves
them.
They took a real Buley tobacco, grown
In this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened It to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toastinG
made It into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdem4nd
ever created for any tobacco product ha .
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome. but the favor Is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.-Adv.
