[Meeting a train in the Union station]
His FAITH unconquerable, his passion for
work irresistible, his accomplishment not sur-
passed in the annals of invention, Thomas
Alva Edison has achieved far more than man*
kind can ever appreciate. February eleventh is
the eightieth anniversary of his birth.
Wherever electricity is used—in homes, in busi-
ness, in industry—there are hearts that are con-
sciously grateful, that humbly pay him homage.
You are an experienced smoker
and you know your brand!
YOU'RE an experienced smoker.
You know good tobaccos. You
know taste and fragrance.
And you insist on the best —
that's Camels. Only the primest
tobaccos grown are good enough
for you—the experienced smoker.
Whatever you do you are going to
do right, if you know it.
If Camels weren't the best, they

would not be far and away the
first. If Camels weren't quality
supreme, they would not be the
overwhelming preference of smok-
ers who have tried every brand.
Your taste tells you the tobacco
difference in cigarettes and you're
going to smoke the best. Your
advice to others is — "Have a
Camel!"
