BB You caN’T help admiring the charm of natural beauty, any more than you can help enjoying the natural mildness of a Camel Cigarette. Camel’s mildness starts in the sun-drenched fields where the tobaccos grow. Only the choicest of the golden Turkish and mellow Domestic leaves are selected for Camels. Through every step of their cure and manufacture the delicate, sun-ripe fragrance of these tobaccos is scien- tifically preserved. And so Camels come to you mild and delightful— not flat and flavorless. Swing with the crowd to Camels, Learn the happy difference between true mildness and insipid flatness.
