“Nature in the Raiv”—as por
trayed by Harland Frazer ...in
spired by that marauding Vilung
chieftain whose vandalism
branded him as the “Terror of
the North” (975-1000 A. D.).
—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.
“It’s toasted"
That pacStage of mild Luckies
"If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, tho he
build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door. ”—RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
Does not this explain the world-wide acceptance and approval of Lucky Strike?
