NO GUNS TO SHUTTER
GENE! JOT OF THIS
ARMISTICE OUT SEE
“Twelve years ago today, we
were in France. It was cold there,
sometimes rain, often snow or
sleet. Big Guns going day and
night, and wounded coming in
at all times. We had made up
our minds that we were stuck
there for the winter and were
trying to like it. But it was not
easy to do,’ said a Seward Le
gionaire.
“Suddenly a rumor came all
thru the unit, as rumors do in
the Army. We could not believe
it. Too good to be true. But it
persisted. Everybody had heard
it. But still we could not believt
that the war was going to end
right away; that everything
would be quiet at 11 a. m. We
hoped it was true and talked
of what we would do when we
got back to the states, ‘God’s
country,’ as we all called it.
“And then November 11 came.
All morning the guns roared,
louder and louder. Soon the
noise became so great we could
not seem to hear it any more,
just felt it inside of our bodies;
10:45 a. m. and every gun in
France trying to get in the last
few shots of the war: 10:55 and
the very earth trembled; 11:00
a. m. A few loud bursts and then
silence. Silence that was so
dense it could be felt. The sun
broke through the clouds and
we could hear the birds sing
ing. For the first time in four
long years there was not a gun
being fired in all Europe.
“A day to remember? One of
the biggest days in the lives of

Says
CLEMENT O.
MINIGER
Noted industrial leader and philanthropist*
President Electric Auto-lite Company.
Director Willys-Overland Company
"The demand of Americans for
the utmost in comfort, convenience
and safety has made the Electric
Autodite standard equipment in
many of the finest of American
automobiles. In using the Ultra
Violet Ray in the'Toasting* of the
LUCKY STRIKE tobaccos you
have laid the firmest of founda
tions for the success of your prod'
net. Because you are rendering
Americans a service which they
appreciate most —the benefit of
modern science."
Everyone knows that
sunshine mellows—that’s why TOASTING
includes the use of the Ultra Violet Ray.
LUCKY STRIKE—the finest cigarette you
ever smoked, made of the finest tobac
cos—the Cream of the Crop—THEN—"IT’S
TOASTED." Everyone knows that heat
purifies and so TOASTING removes harm
ful irritants that cause throat irritation
and coughing. No wonder 20,679 phy
sicians have stated LUCKIES to be less
irritating!
Your Throat Protection — against irritation — against cough
Consistent with its policy of laying the facts before the public, The American Tobacco Company has invited Mr. Clement 0.
Miniger, to review the reports of the distinguished men who have witnessed LUCKY STRIKE’S famous Toasting Process.
