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 h,is set a new record ... in the speed with which it has won public acceptance and widespread popularity. Thi s 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 hraiul ...OLD GOLD. For it has been i!k rd-of-mouth recommendation of. the public and the trade that has made possible the rapid sales-ascendancy of this new and better cigarette. The spontaneous recognition given to OLD GOLD is due, in our judgment, to x- FIRST: The ready ability and u illingnt'ss of the American public to discern and acclaim a better product. SECON I) : The determination of P. Lorillard Company to spare neither time nor expense to make Old (loi.i) the long aualted liettrr cigarette , . . the superlative cigarette . . , before tack.
