THINK of a cigarette "served" to you as appetizingly as the
hot, buttered toast that comes to your breakfast table.
Well, that's the idea on this new Lucky Strike cigarette:
the tobacco it's toasted. There's a thought to make your
mouth water for a new cigarette flavor.
Until we discovered the toasting principle, a good ready
made cigarette from Burley tobacco wasn't possible; flavor
wouldn't hold.
Yet there was the big million-man-powcr affection for
Burley 69 million pounds poured from those green, blue and .
red tin boxes last year.

So we worked five years then came the big simple idea
of toasting the tobacco to hold the flavor. Now, enjoy a really
delicious new cigarette flavor: Lucky Strike the real Burley

Senator Thomas replied lie did not
doubt there was plenty of food in the
country but that the pressing ques

"You may form an army to bent
the enemy," he snid, "but there may
be domestic questions of fur more im
portniicc. You can't nccustom the
people to starvation; you enn't ac
custom them to living 'beyond their
incomes." He said he wanted to curb
the speculator who. would "coin the
hunger of women nnd children into
dirty dollars."
