There never was q smoke so
pleasing as Camel
z A M e L

Camel quality has been rewarded
with the greatest demand, the larg-
est sales any cigarette ever enjoyed.
Since smoking began, there was
never such a growing preference
as for Camels. Camel rewards its
friends with enjoyment that never
ends, for Camels never tire the
taste, simply never leave a cigaretty
after-taste.
IF you have never tried Camels,
if you DO not know how good, how
oatisfying a cigarette can be, we
invite you to try them now for
the utmost in smoking pleasure.
Have the best that's tnade-we
invite you--

cigarette can compare with Camel.
No other cigarette ever was made
so good, for Camel excellence is
the result of skill. Skill in finding
the worlds choicest tobaccos-in

From the beginning Camel took
its stand on the quality platform,

No expense is spared, no care is
too great to make Camel the

s.In addition to this immense saw
ing, between $4,000 and 1000 peo-
pie will undoubtedly be relieved from
filing returns, due to increased per-
sonal exemption. !"
Heretofore taxpayers have been
urged to file their returns early; this
var Mr.. iWillcuts advises against this
for the reason that no one will know
definitely what the reductions in
rates will be until the new Bill is
passed.
However, there is nothing to pre-
vent taxpayer at this time from
closing his books and computing his
net income. Such computation will
not be affected by any provisions OF
the new law. The actual preparation
of the return itself, after the, compu-
tation of the income, requires in the
majority of cases but a few minutes,
It is suggested, therefore, that all
figures and data be assembled pend
ing the receipt of blanks by taxpay-
ers.
If this is done, the filing of the re-
turns could be safely deferred until
the blanks are available and still
leave time for transcribing the fig
ures to the proper forms and filing
returns on or before the due date.
