SAYS JOE WILLIAMS

FAMOUS SPORTS EXPERT

LONG-BURNING SMOKES have a big appeal for Joe Williams, as well as for many another cigarette smoker. Joe, whose keen comments on sports are eagerly read by millions of fans, is equally “in the know” oa cigarettes too. He says: ‘Every Camel gives me an extra period

of cigarette enjoyment—a longer smoke, and a milder, cooler, mellower smoke! Naturally,

such a cigarette has a more appealing taste. Yes, sir,” Joe concludes, “it’s a real thrill to smoke a Camel.” You, too, will find that Camel's long-burning, costlier tobaccos do give more pleasure per puff~AND-—more puffs per pack. That's pleasure plus economy—a shrewd buy. No wonder America’s smokers have made Camels their cigarette choice No. 1.
