THERE'S A REAt sense of luxury in the smooth, mild, thrilling
fragrance of a Camel Cigarette. There's a rich blandness in the
inimitable blend of delicate Turkish and mellow Domestic
tobaccos that has made this cigarette famous the world over.
Money can't buy a better cigarette than Camel. The choicest
tobaccos grown go into Camels, and the Camel blend is one of
those extraordinary discoveries that money alone can never create.
You want the best in everything. You can have it in cigarettes.
Don 't deny yourself the luxury of
Camels
