You owe your Lucky Strike cig
arettes to our discovery that the
delicious flavor of Kentucky Bur
ley tobacco could be preserved in
cigarette form by toasting.
Until we developed this idea
there was no real Burley ciga
rette. Now we are making every
day 15,000,000 of the real Burley
cigarette Lucky Strike; it's
toasted.
And you smokers are buying Lucky
Strike at this tremendous rate because it
gives to cigarette smokers a new flavor
and to pipe smokers their favorite tobacco
in cigarette form.
