The Jack Benny program presented by Lucky Strike. Quality of product is essential to continuing success. Exhibit A, Lucky Strike. Fine tobacco is what counts in a cigarette. And day in, day out, consistently. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.

I'm not a bad man. Lucky Strike presents The Man Who Knows. The tobacco auctioneer. Mr. Lucian Purdam, veteran auctioneer of Springfield, Kentucky, has sold more than 240 million pounds of tobacco at auction. Recently, he said, at every auction I've attended, I've seen the makers of Lucky Strike by a fine quality tobacco, that fine ripe smoking leaf that makes a smooth, mild smoke. Smoke

luck is myself for 22 years. Season after season, independent tobacco experts like Mr. Purdam can see the makers of Lucky Strike consistently select and buy that fine, that light that naturally mild tobacco. Remember? LSMFT, LSMFT. Lucky strike means fine tobacco.

And fine tobacco means real deep down smoking enjoyment for you. So smoke that smoke of fine tobacco, Lucky strike. Yes, next time you buy cigarettes, ask for Lucky strike. So round, so firm, so fully packed, so free and easy on the draw.
