For real, down-to-earth smoking enjoy-
ment, there's nothing else like Camel.
No other cigarette brings you the rich
flavor and easygoing mildness of
Camel's costly blend. More people
smoke Camels than any other cigarette
of any kind. Today as always, the
best tobacco makes the best smoke.
Rise above fads and fancy stuff . . .
