Facts
About
Taxes
on
Cigarettes
mo the general public, we believe it
JL v. ill be surprising to learn that,
nearly half of whot they pay for ciga-
rettes goes to thc governmerit for tuxes.
The internal revenue stamp on a
package of twenty Lucky Strike ciga-
rettes costs you six cents. On a 75c
tin of one hundred the revenue
■tamp costs yon thirty ceais.
So nearly one-half of what you pay
for cigarettes is spent by you for taxes.
This is certainly the heaviest tax on
an article of daily and universal con-
sumption.
?te Tobacco Industry
and Taxes
The aggregate tax paid by the to-
bacco business is with one exception,
income taxes, the largest item of inter-
nal revenue the federal government re-
ceives. Last (fiscal) year it amounted
to $309,014,050.84.
Of this enormous amount of money
the cigarette industry paid $182,715,-
735.93, or nearly two-thirds of the total
tax paid by the entire tobacco business.
We believe you will appreciate that
when nearly fifty cents of every dollar
paid by you for cigarettes goes to the
government, you must receive in ciga-
rettes a value in retui n for your money
that is rarely given in any conynodity.
That the public appreciates this
great value is shown by the enormous
increase in the consumption of ciga-
rettes.
Our reasons for this
tax free offer
We know this offer induces men to
try Lucky Strikes—it "Wins More
Friends." •
We know that a large percentage of
those who get acquainted with Lucky
Strikes adopt them.
This isn’t philanthropy nor propa-
ganda-just good business, as you’ll
agree.
The offer is limited. We cannot af-
ford to keep it up.
We make it generous, to attract at-
tention.
Super-quality
Only by immense volume can we
produce such an aristocratic cigarette
as.Lucky Strike at such a democratic
price.
Ita quality is supreme because it has
that costly extra process, toasting,
which improves the flavor and adds to
the taste of even the finest tobaccos
that are used in Lucky Strikes.
Cleanliness and Care
in Manufacture
Every Lucky Strike factory is a
model of sanitation. Read how Al-
fred W. McCann, the noted food ex-
pert, describes one of our factories:
"White walla and ceilings, floors as
dean as freshly chiseled marble,
cutting machines and wrapping
machines that take away from the
human hand all detail and leave
nothing to the human supervision
but the watchfulness of trained
eyes."
