FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED TOBACCO TASTES BETTER TOASTED Since the day of the caveman, wfco liked his meat raw, civilization has learned a lot about the scientific treat ment of the things we eat Naturally none of us would now prefer to have our meat raw, our po tatoes as they come from the ground, our coffee unroasted. And naturally follows the great dis covery recently made by The Ameri can Tobacco Co. that tobacco tastes better TOASTEDI This Wonderful new Idea simple like all great inventions was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette made of toasted Durley tobacco. Durleyhas a mellow flavor, entirely different from the tobacco usually used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to bacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes taste like a pipe.
