Modern
smokers praise
the integrity
of Camels
THIS is the age of frankness and
plain-speaking, and it rates Camel first
among cigarettes.
For Camel is that kind of a smoke.
Camel is all quality and no false front
or show. Camels are made of the choic
est Turkish and Domestic tobaccos
grown—no substitutes. And the finest
blending ever given a cigarette.
It is Camel character that has won
the smokers of today — such honesty
of taste and fragrance as never was
known in a cigarette before. You’ll
find all dreams of smoking pleasure
realized in this modern, quality
cigarette. "Have a Camel
