On a racing motor-cycle Jimmie Kelly is a riding champion, but when it comes to cigarettes, this record-breaking driver is ... “ON THE SLOW SIDE”-That’s Jimmie Kelly’s way-and the way of millions of other smokers —of saying that he prefers the slower-burning cigarette... Camel. "That’s where the 'extras’ are in cigarette pleasure and value,” explains Jimmie {above). /"CHAMPION Jimmie Kelly {right, above) is just one of thousands of experienced smokers who have discovered that Camel’s slower way of burning means several definite advantages. Being slower-burning, Camels are free from the drying, uncomfortable qualities of excess heat.They give you extra mildness and extra coolness... always so welcome. Slower burning makes the most of the full, rich flavor of Camel’s costlier tobaccos. Camels give you extra flavor... don’t tire your taste. The extra smoking in Camels is a matter of the smokers’ experience as well as of impartial laboratory record. So get more pleasure per puff and more puffs per pack. Get Camels. Penny for penny, Camels are your best cigarette buy! 9 In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested—slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to 5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK! j^ce*e y&tc— ConyrlfM-1940. R. J.
