Sunshine Mellows
Heat Purifies
LUCKIES are always
kind to your throat
Everyone knows that
sunshine mellows —that’s why the
"TOASTING" process includes the
use of the Ultra Violet Rays. LUCKY
STRIKE — made of the finest tobaccos
— the Cream of the Crop—THEN
—"IT’S TOASTED" — an extra/ secret
heating process. Harsh irritants
present in all raw tobaccos are ex
pelled by "TOASTING." These irri
tants are sold to others. They are
not present in your LUCKY STRIKE.
No wonder LUCKIES are always
kind to your throat.
The advice of your physi
dan is: Keep out of doors,
in the open air, breathe
deeply; take plenty of exer
cise in die mellow sunshine,
and have a periodic
check-up on the health of
your body.
