Get all the smoke-pleasure you pay for.
Find the right cigarette a SENSIBLE
one that fits your own likes and dislikes.
c.
Tastes diflcr in fnshions, foods nnd pretty Rirls.
Also in cigarettes.
A cigarette tlmh started out to plcusc every miin's
teste would end up by pleasing none.
Most of us like our cigarette smoke deliriously cool
nnd refreshing. The Mexican likes his hot and dry, with
n nice little peppery sting in it.
Sonic men like a cigarette wholesomely, frngrantly
mild. Others of us hunt for a cigarette almost as heavy
as a black cigar.
Most of us want nn "nisi cigarette n SENSIBLE
one, so that no matter how steadily or how many we
cmokc, we'll feci as lit as n fiddle. Other men, though,
don't care about that. They smoke only :; few so they
want a kick like u mule's in each pu(i!
All of us want our smoke "full-bodied" it must .w.yy
that smoke-hunger. Hut tho cigarette that just (ills the
bill for yoxi may not do at all for your next-door neighbor.
Somewhere among nil the brands on the market ;.v the.
one just-right cigarette for YOU I
Maybe it's the very one you have now in your
pocket but are you SURE ? Maybe it's some entirely
"different" cigarette it may or may not be Fatima.
But "find it I" Until you do, you're cheating your
celf out of n whole lot of smokc-plcasurc. Also you're
wasting some money.
How to Find "yours
a
To avoid blindly trying too many different cigarettes,
ask yourself, first of all, this question :
"Just what do I like in a cigarette ? "
If you smoke only a few every day, you may prefer
n cigarette which is rather rich or heavy nnd "oily." Or
you may like one which has a rather strong "oriental"
taste with a pungency almost like perfume. Or you may
want a cigarette with that noticeably "sweetish" Egyptinn
!unWp2
but this will help you find it
flavor. But if you smoke quite often -if you would like
to smoke whenever you feci like it and without any effect
on the tongue or throat or any fear of a heavy or "heady"
feeling ailerwards thvn you should choose some cignrctte
such as Fatima, a cigarette composed of all-pure tobaccos
of considerable aroma, mellowed by being aged and care
fully blended to produce a fragrant and wholesomely mild,
j'ct "full-bodied, ' ' smoke. And the smoke must be notice
ably COOL. For otherwise your tongue or your throat
will soon signal you to stop smoking so often.
If you will ask any Fatima smoker, he will tell you
that Fatimas never make him "feel mean" no matter
how many he smokes.
That is why Fatimas arc considered the most sensible
cigarette by such a large majority of smokers. And
that is probably the main reason why hardly amj
Fatima smokers ever switch They like a sensible cigarette
and one with a good, pure taste to it.
But the Taste is up to You
All cigarettes arc pure, but when it comer, to the taste,
nobody can help you choose. You simply have to decide
for yourself.
Of course, Fntimn's taste may not appeal to you.
But most men who try Fatimas like the taste so well that
they seek no further otherwise Fatimas could never have
won and held their enormous and growing leadership
amounting to over one and a half BILLION cigarettes a
year. '
k y A,
The one purpose qf this advertisement is to nsk you
in a fair and square way to give Fatimas ($0 for 15c)
a good trial. If they don't happen to suit your taste,
you'll quit smoking them of course. But if you like
Fatimas as well as MOST men do, you'll be mighty glad
you read this advertisement and ACTED ON IT I
Below arc two simple tests which you can easily make
and which may help you find your sensible cigarette. '
It may or may not be Fatima. But be fair to yourself
and find "yours."
