The pleasure is worth it. There's no sub
stitute for Camel quality and that mild,
fragrant Camel blend.
The fellow who smokes Camels, wants
Camels. . That's because Camels have a
smoothness, a fragrance and a mildness you
can't get in another cigarette.
Don't let anyone tell you that any other
cigarette at any price is so good as Camels.
Let your own taste be the judge. Try
Camels for yourself. Afew smooth, refreshing
puffs and you'd walk a mile for a Camel, too.
