IMAGINE any first-class, medium,
priced car ($1500 or $2000) ever
becoming bo veil liked that even
the millionaires would prefer it for
their own use to even the highest
priced cars.
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?
