‘“Reach for a Lucky and not for a sweet.*
That’s been my policy ever since Luckies
started—my way of retaining the figure I
need to be known as the ever-youthful Fannie
Ward. So 1 say to you women ivho want
to cheat time as I have done, 'Reach for a
Lucky and not for a sweet.* ”
Fannie Ward
' 1 'HE modern common sense way—reach for
a Lucky instead of a fattening sweet. Every
one is doing it—men keep healthy and fit,
women retain a trim figure. Lucky Strike,
the finest tobaccos, skilfully blended, then toast
ed to develop a flavor which is a delightful al
ternative for that craving for fattening sweets.
Toasting frees Lucky Strike from impurities.
20,679 physicians recognize this when they say
Luckies are less irritating than other cigarettes.
That’s why folks say: “It’s good to smoke
Luckies.’*
Q/i P — Authorities attribute the enormous
vUJVc ; increase in Cigarette smoking to
the improvement in the process of Cigarette
manufacture by the application of heat. It is
true that during 192S, Lucky Strike Cigarette
showed a greater increase than all other Ciga
rettes combined. This confirms in no uncertain
terms the public’s confidence in the superior
ity of Lucky Strike.
