TiE BIE NioHT R S A S Like so many other independent experts, Bill Whitley, Tobacco Auctioneer of Henderson, N. C., smokes Luckies 3 TLLIAM D. (BILL) WHITLEY sold over 15 million pounds of tobacco last year. It’s easy to see that he’s an expert who knows tobacco. So it’s important to you when he says...“At 14 different markets in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky, I've seen Luckies buy the best tobacco. I figure it’s good tobacco that makes a good smoke. So my own cigarette is Lucky Strike! “I’ve noticed, too, that independent buyers, not connected with any cigarette manufacturer, smoke Luckies more than any other brand.” Mr. Whitley is correct. For sworn records show that, among independent tobacco ex- perts, Luckies have twice as many exclu-~ sivesmokers as have all other cigarettes put together. Remember: The men who know tobacco best smoke Luckies 2 to 1. 5 HAVE YOU HEARD “THE CHANT OF THE TOBACCO AUCTIONEER" ON THE RADIO? When you do, remember that Luckies use the finest tobacco. And also that the “Toasting"’ process removes certain harsh irritants found in gll tobacco. So Luckies are kind to your throat. lEST-Il"S LUCKIES 2 TO1 o 1985 T Aarien Toturn Oy 1938.
