Impossible. You're right. Such a thing couldn't happen with a medium-priced auto mobile nor, you would think, Anth anything ehe. And yet this "impossible" thing has happened with a medium-priced ciga rette. Just note, if you please, tho evidence below, at the left. How on, earth did Fatima do it? What is it what does this medium priced cigarette give that these wealthy smokers prefer to anything given by even the highest-priced cigarettes? The answer is "Just enough Turkish" Until they had tried Fatima, most of these men had been smoking straight Turkish cigarettes because, of course, until a few years ago these fancy-boxed, expensive straight Turk ish cigarettes were practically the only cigarettes on sale at places like those named below. Gradually, however, it seems that these men have learned two things about Fatima: 1. That Fatima's famous blend (containing more Turkish than any other blend) has just enough Turkish for full flavor; and 2. That the blend is so "balanced" as to off-set entirely that over richness or heaviness of straight Turkish. Which proves again that Fatimas are a sensible cigarette that they leave a man feeling fine and fit even after smoking more heavily than usual. Has your present cigarette has any cigarette as strong a claim for your serious consideration as has Fatima? FATIMA A Sensible Cigarette 2 Ofir 23 cents I - li SUMMER SHOPPING HOURS ) A. M. TO T P.
