Last (fiscal) year it amounted to $309,014,050.84.

Our reasons for this tax free offer We know this offer induces men to try Lucky Strikes—it | “Wins More Friends.” 1 We know that a large per- centage of those who get ac-} quainted with Lucky Strikes | adopt them.

Its quality is supreme be- cause it has that costly extra process, toasting, which im- proves the flavor and adds to the taste of even the finest tobaccos that are used in Lucky Strikes.
