We've told you about Lucky Strike superiority. Your friends have told you. Now know for yourself the value of the toasting process!

Smoke these 100 Lucky Strikes. Then you'll know how the 45. minute toasting process adds to the flavor and improves the taste, s ha pitche aight ove tt octators’ that tt ster wi O the general public, Swe believe it will be surprising to learn that nearly half of what they pay for ciga- rettes goes to the government for taxes. 4 ft | package of twenty Lucky Strike ciga- = | rettes costs you six cents. On a 75c 4 |tin of one hundred the revenue stamp costs you thirty cents. So nearly one-half of what you pay for cigarettes is spent by you for taxes. ‘This is certainly the heaviest tax on an article of daily and universal con- sumption, The Tobacco Industry and Taxes The aggregate tax paid by the to- bacco business is with one exception, income taxes, the largest item of inter- nal revenue the federal government re- ceives.

We believe you will appreciate that when nearly fifty centa of every dollar paid by you for cigarettes goes to the government, you must receive in ciga- rettes a value in return for your money that is rarely given in any commodity. That the public appreciates this great value is shown by the enormous increase in the consumption of ciga- rettes. Our reasons for this tax free offer We know this offer induces men to try Lucky Strikes—it “Wins: More Friends.” We know that a large percentage of those who get acquainted with Lucky Strikes adopt them. This isn’t philanthropy vor prope- ganda—just good busines, as you'll agree. The offer is timited. We comnet-ed- ford to keep it up. We make it generous, to attract at- tention. Only by immense volume can we produce such an aristocratic cigarette as Lucky Strike at such a democratic price. Its quality is supreme because ft has that costly extra process, toasting, which improves the flavor and adds to the taste of even the finest tobaccos that are used in Lucky Strikes.
