A WORD OF APPRECIATION By the JMakers of 0] LD GOLD CIGARETTES I} e HOUGH this is a commercial age, courtesy 5 and appreciation are not out of fashion in American business. And the largest business institutions still get a thrill in the pleasure of saying “Thank You” for favors received. Just a short time ago, Lorillard introduced a new Ciga- rette in the hotly contested, popular priced cigarette field. It is generally conceded in the tobacco trade that this new Cigarette has set a new record . . . in the speed with which it has won public acceptance and widespread popularity. This message of thanks is offered by Lorillard as an ex- pression of deep appreciation to the Cigarette Smokers, Dealers and: Jobbers of this community for the friendly cooperation all three have given in helping to establish the new Lorillard brand... OLD GOLD. For it has been the word-of-mouth recommendation of the public and the trade that has made possible the rapid sales-ascendancy of this new and éezter cigarette. The spontaneous recognition given to OLD GOLD is due, in our judgment, FIRST: SECOND: to The ready ability and fi»i/[ingflm‘ of the American public to discern and acclaim a better product. The determination of P. Lorillard Company to spare neither time nor expense to make OLD GOLD the long awaited better cigarette . . . the superlative cigarette . . . before offering it to the public.
