GOOD PROSPECTORS
NEVER QUIT
When things go wrong, as they
sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging
seems all up-hill,
When funds are lew and the debts
are high,
And you want to smile but you have
to sigh,
Rest if you must, but don’t you
quit;
Life is queer with its twists and
turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he
stuck it out;
Don’t give up, tho the pace seems
slow
You may succeed with another
blow.
Often the goal is nearer than it
seems to a f3int and faltering
man
Often the struggler has given up,
When might have captured the vic
tory’s cup.
And he learned tco late, when the
right slipped down.
Hew close he was to the golden
crown.
Success is failure turned inside
out
The silver tint of clouds of doubt.!
And you can never tell how close!
you are, I
It may be near when it seems afar; j
So stick to the fight, when you’re j
hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worse that
you musn’t quit.

S "Nature in the Raw"
■■ —asportrayed by the
i greatanimal painter,

inspired by the brute
force and savage
cunning ivhich has

—and raw tobaccos
have no place in cigarettes
They are not present in Luckies
... the mildest cigarette
you ever smoked
WE buy the finest, the very finest
tobaccos in all the world—but
that does not explain why folks
everywhere regard Lucky Strike as
the mildest cigarette. The fact is, we
never overlook the truth that "Nature
in the Raw is Seldom Mild"—so
these fine tobaccos, after proper aging
and mellowing, are then given the
benefit of that Lucky Strike purifying
process, described by the words—
"It’s toasted". That’s why folks in
every city, town and hamlet say that
Luckies are such mild cigarettes.

Does not this explain the world-wide acceptance and approval of Lucky Strike?
