able to circum stances which had nothing to do with the
public attitude toward aviation

WHY CAMELS
ARE THE BETTER CIGARETTE
Camels are m ade o f the choicest tobaccos
grown.
The Camel blend o f Domestic a n d Turkish

Camels are m ild a n d mellow.
They do not tire the taste.
They leave no cigaretty after-taste.
Camels have a delightful fragrance th at is
