NO longer need a trim, slender figure be
your envy. No longer need you face the
rigid requirements of harsh dieting methods.
Overweight is banished when you banish fatten
ing sweets and eating between meals and light a
Lucky. “Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.”
20,679 physicians have confirmed the fact that
Lucky Strike is less irritating to the throat than
other cigarettes. These professional men realise
the value of toasting, the secret process that elim
inates impurities and irritants. Lucky Strike is
a delightful blend of the world’s finest tobaccos.
And toasting develops a flavor which is a delight
ful alternative for fattening sweets.
Many prominent athletes testify that Luckies
steady their nerves and do not harm their physical
condition.Men have long known this and practic
ed it successfully. These are the men who watch
their health, who keep trim and fit, realizing the
dangers of overweight. And now, women may en
joy a companionable smoke with their husbands
and brothers—at the same time slenderizing
in a sensible manner. That’s why folks say:
“It’s good to smoke Luckies.”
A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet
is recommended, but the authorities are over
whelming that too many fattening sweets are
harmful and that too many such are eaten by
the American people. So, for moderation’s sake
we say: —
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.’'
