1 here never Was a smoke so
pleasing as Camel

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,
it you do not know how good, how
satisfying a cigarette can be, we
invite you to try them now for
the utmost i'll smoking pleasure.
Have the best that's made-we
invite YOU
Have Camel!

In LIES supreme moments no
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
blending, as only the worlds larg-
est organization of experts can.
From the beginning Camel took
its stand on the quality platform,
and nothing could ever induce its
makers to change Camel tobaccos.
No expense is spared, no care is
too great to make Camel the
worlds most satisfying smoke,
regardless Of price.
In popularity with smokers, no
cigarette made can touch Camels.
