"Yes, Ben, I think that Camels art a lot different. That's
why they're the racing drivers' favorite cigarette. You see,
a cigarette has to have something oat of the ordinary to
score such a bit with fellows like us. As I always say, there
are so many things that mean a great deal in smoking. One
big angle that carries weight with me is that Camels agrtt

"Camels are
preferred by the
tobacco growers,
who know leaf
tobacco from the
ground up"
according to the
observation of tobacco
planters themselves
"I'VE BEEN
planting tobacco
for twenty years,"
says Harry C.
Kin?, a successful
grower. "Camel
. bought the choice
lots of my last tobacco crop paid'
more for my best leaf tobacco. So
I .know they use finer, more ex
pensive tobaccos in Camel ciga
rettes. That's one mighty good
reason why my cigarette is Camel"
THOMAS MIDDLE-'
TON and his twin
brother James have
been growing tobacco
for 14 vears. "Tha
Camel people bought f&:
up my best tobacco
last year," Tom Middleton says.
"They have for 12 years. When
anyone talks about finer, more ex-
pensive tobaccos, that means Cam
els to me. I smoke 'em my brother :
smokes 'em and so do most of us
around here who grow and know
tobacco.'
"DOWN AT
THE tobacco
warehouse they
told me they'd
never seen finer
tobacco than my
last crop," says
J. E. Jenkins, veteran tobacco
grower. "Camel bought all the top
grades. It just shows that the
Camel people make sure to get the'
choice lota' of tobacco. I prefer
Camels every time. I know what
those finer, more , expensive tobac
cos in Camel cigarettes mean to
smokers."
