suit in the common pleas court

recover damages in the sum of S6O1,

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
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 most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley 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 greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor IS
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.
