Camel makes every great day greater, increases the gladness in giving, makes life's anticipations brighter. Before Camel, no cigarette ever was so good.

Into the making of this one cigarette goes all of the skill of the largest tobacco organization in the world. So on. this Christmas Eve, when your work for others is done when you're too glad for sleep with thoughts of tomorrow's happiness, oh, then taste the smoke that every day brings contentment to so many millions. Know the mellowest mildness, the most rich and fragrant taste that ever was put into a cigarette. Have a Camel! .'.'iff.. I if T " v r it Mi $ I Camels represent the utmost in cigarette qtuthty.
