Thanksgiving Dinner… and then the peaceful feeling that comes from good digestion and smoking Camels!<\/p>\n

OFF TO A GOOD START — with hot spiced tomato soup.\u00a0 And then–for digestion’s sake–smoke a Camel right after the soup.<\/p>\n

THE MAIN EVENT — The time-honoured turkey of our forefathers–done to a crisp and golden brown–and flanked by a mountain of ruby cranberry jelly.\u00a0 By all means enjoy a second helping.\u00a0 But before you do–smoke another Camel.\u00a0 Camels ease tension.\u00a0 Speed up the flow of digestive fluids.\u00a0 Increase alkalinity.\u00a0 Help your digestion to run smoothly.<\/p>\n

DOUBLE PAUSE — First–for the crisp refreshment of a Waldorf Salad–then–once again, for the sheer pleasure of Camel’s costlier tobaccos.\u00a0 This double pause clears the palate–and sets the stage for desert.<\/p>\n

WHAT WILL YOU HAVE FOR DESSERT? Reading in a circle, there’s luscious Pumpkin Pie… Mince Pie a la mode<\/em>… layer cake with inch-deep icing… a piping-hot Plum Pudding… and Camels to add the final touch of comfort and good cheer.\u00a0 For when digestion proceeds smoothly,\u00a0 you experience a sense of ease and well-being.<\/p>\n

SO TO A HAPPY ENDING — over coffee and your after-dinner Camels.\u00a0 Enjoy Camels–every mealtime–between courses and after eating–and you can lean back in your chair feeling on top of the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FOOD EDITOR — Miss Dorothy Malone says: “It’s smart to have Camels on the table.\u00a0 My own personal experience is that smoking Camels with my meals and afterwards builds up a sense of digestive well-being.”<\/p>\n

“THE BEST MEAL I ever ate would be a disappointment if I coldn’t enjoy Camels,” says William H. Ferguson, salesman. “I smoke Camels as an aid to digestion.\u00a0 There’s nothing like Camel’s to set you right.”<\/p>\n

Good food and good tobacco go together naturally!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right down the line–from explorers living on “iron rations” to the millions of men and women who’ll heartily enjoy a big Thanksgiving dinner–it is agreed that Camels set you right!\u00a0 You enjoy more food more and have a feeling of greater ease after eating when you smoke Camels between courses and after meals.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Camels all you wish–all through the day.\u00a0 Camel’s costlier tobaccos as supremely mild.\u00a0 Steady smokers say that Camel’s never tire the taste or get on the nerves.\u00a0 And when you’re tired, try this: get a “lift” with a Camel!<\/p>\n

COSTLIER TOBACCOS<\/p>\n

Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE TOBACCOS . . . Turkish and Domestic . . . than any other popular brand.<\/p>\n
