Fine tobacco—and only fine tobacco—can give yqu the
perfect mildness and rich taste that make a cigarette
completely enjoyable. And Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. So if you’re not happy with your present brand
(and a 38-city survey shows that millions are not),

than any other cigarette. Be Happy—Go Lucky today!
