The Jack Benney program presented by Lucky Strike to give you more smoking enjoyment. Lucky's pay more. Yes, there's more smoking enjoyment than a Lucky because Lucky's pay more for fine tobacco. Millions of dollars more than official parody prices.

L.S. M.F.T. L.S. M.F.T. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Fine light tobacco that the tobacco experts can see the makers of Lucky Strike consistently select and buy. Just listen to what Mr. C.B. Smith, an independent tobacco buyer from Danville, Virginia, recently said.

I've been buying tobacco now for 30 years, and year after year I've seen the makers of Lucky Strike by fine quality leave. Right mild tobacco that gives you a real good smoke. I've smoked Lucky's myself for 29 years.

And a recent survey reveals that for their own smoking enjoyment, more independent tobacco experts, auctioneers, buyers, and warehousemen, smoke Lucky Strike regularly, then the next two leading brands combine. So take a tip from the experts and for your own real deep-down smoking enjoyment, light up a Lucky. Remember, Lucky's pay more. Millions of dollars more

than official parody prices for Fine Tobacco. Make your next carton Lucky Strike, you'll agree. In all the world, there's no finer cigarette. The Lucky Strike program starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, Dennis, Dan Ears, truly Donwells.

Ladies and gentlemen, last week while temporarily deranged from a blow on the head by a can of tomato juice, Jack Benny put a thousand dollar deposit on a yacht. He's recovered from his injury, but the loss of his money plus a bad cold have kept him in bed.

John, I flip up your pillow a little, Mr. Benny? No, no, it's all right. How do you feel? How do you expect a man to feel his throw away a thousand dollars? I won't buy the yacht, so I'll lose my deposit.
