no YOU IMAGINE that all filter
- cigarettes have about the same
amount of nicotine and tar in the smoke?
Well, here's proof they don't and here's
proof that only one filter cigarette has
far less nicotine and less tar in its smoke
than all the others King Sano.
The reason is: King Sano doesn't depend
on the filter dip alone to reduce nicotine
and tar. For only King Sano takes an
extra step-and filters the tobacco itself,
even before the cigarettes are made.
In the report above, you see the actual

amounts Of nicotine and tar left in the
smoke Of all the leading filter cigarettes.
These are scientific facts, verified BY
Stillwell s. Gladding, independent
Analytical Chemists. So now you see
proof that there is less nicotine and
less tar in the smoke of King Sano
than in the smoke of any other filter
cigarette.
AS for flavor, King Sano tastes just
as rich and satisfying as any un6ltered
cigarette. But see for yourself try

OBSERVANCE OF 2Oth ANNIVERSARY
OF KEY BROTHERS FLIGHT is SET
THE 2Oth Anniversary oft the 6,

The goth anniversary of the
most important single aeronauti-
cal achievement in Mississippi
history, the establishment of the
world record endurance flight by
AL and Fred Key in 1895, will
be observed in Meridian on June
30-July 2, inclusive.
The famed Key brothers estab-
lished the yet unbroken record
of 653 hours and "a minutes
aloft on July l, 1885, after two
heartbreaking unsuccessful at
temptS.
Several thousand aviation en-
thusiasts from all over the ma
ton are expected to join Meri
dianites in paying tribute to the
Meridian boys who performed
the feat in a Curtis Robin air.
craft with a Wright Whirlwind
engine over what is now known
as Key Field.
The sturdy plane, known as
the "Ole Miss, is now being
taken out Of mOthballs and will
be completely rebuilt for it's last
flight to a rendezvous with his
tory in the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, where it will rest alongside
such great aircraft as Lindberg's
Spirit of ST. Louis" and the ma
chine first flown by the Wright
Brothers at Kitty Hawk over SO
years ago.
The program, sponsored by
Meridian civic clubs, the Junior
and Senior Chambers of Com
merce, veteran and military or
CARNATIONS, will open on the
evening of June 30th and will be
climated on July End when the
"Ole Miss" will be piloted to
Washington by the Keys for ac-
ceptance as an exhibit at the
famed museum.
The mountaineering flight of
the Key Brothers began quietly
enough on June 4, 1885. But
when they came down % days
later more than 10000 highly
excited spectators were jamming
the Meridian airport.
Born in Kemper county near
DeKalb, the Key Brothers had
been flying about 10 years when
they took the "Ole Miss" aloft
on it's historic flight.
The 1885 victory was not &C
complished easily, however. In
fact, it was won on their third
attempt. They were forced down
l. 10
proximately 100 hours in the air.
On a second attempt they re
manned aloft for 200 hours be-
fore bad weather grounded them.
Previous official records had
been set by the Hunter Brothers,
General Carl SpatZ. Reg Rob
bins, and others, but the mark
established by All and Fred Key
was so far beyond any of these
that it has never since been beat
en-.
The feat, far from serving
merely as stunt, has contribu-
ted greatly to the furtherance
of aviation. Refueling of jet
bombers in air today might not
be as commonplace were it not
for the determination of the
Meridian brothers.
Both of the Keys to this day
are contributing to the further
ance of aviation after chalking
up enviable military records.
Fred and AL, on the morning
of Pearl Harbor attack, were fly
ing BIZ bombers to Newfound-
