All Honor To A Great Athlete Larruping Lou Gehrig of the World's Champion New York Yankees
1. Four home runs in one game Yeow!
Lou Gehrig Holds More Records than any other player in the game today. Here are a few for any
four-game World Series: most runs batted in (9); most home-runs(4); most bases on balls(6). He has
knocked 4 home-runs in one game---scored 100 or more runs and batted in 100 of more runs for
11consecutive seasons.
2. Smack
Home--Run King! Gehrig (a regular Camel smoker) has an average of 38 home-runs per season. In
1931, Gehrig shared the crown as the American League's home--run king; in 1934 and 1936, stood at
the top alone. Gehrig's follow-through is shown above. It takes healthy nerves to connect, and,
as Lou says: "Camels don't get on my nerves."
3. UM-M-M, Here's the best part of eating!
X marks the spot where once there was a thick juicy steak smothered in mushrooms--Lou's favorite
dish. Gehrig is a big man--6ft. 1in. Tall--weighs 210 pounds. And he has a big man's appetite.
Lou eats what he wants and isn't bashful about coming back for "seconds". So for smoking Camels at
mealtime and afterward, you have Lou's own words: "I've found that smoking Camels and eating go
together naturally." Choose Camel for your cigarette and see how they help ease tension, paving the
way to good digestion. What happens is this: Smoking Camels at mealtime and afterward speeds up the
flow of digestive fluids. Alkalinity also is increased. Thus Camels give you a delightful sense of
well-being. . .they set you right! Smokers find that they can enjoy Camels steadily---between meals
as well as at meals---and that Camels never get on their nerves or tire their taste. So make it
Camels---they are so mild.
4. Pack of Camels? Yes, Sir! Sock it 'Iron man'! Yes, Mabel, It's his 1809th game without a break
Baseball's "Iron--Man"! When Lou steps out on the field, to play his first game of the 1937
season---he'll be playing his 1,809th consecutive game--a record unparalleled in the annals of
baseball. Injuries never stopped Gehrig. Once he chipped a bone in his foot--yet knocked out a
homer, two doubles, and a single next day. Another time, he was knocked out by a "bean-ball," yet
next day walloped 3 triples in 5 innings. Gehrig's "Iron-Man" record is proof of his splendid
physical condition. As Lou says: "All the years I've been playing. I've been careful about my
physical condition. Smoke? I smoke and enjoy it. My cigarette is Camels."
5. Here's Lou Favorite Bat and his favorite first baseman's mitt. His bat is especially made. He
wears our two mitts a season. You cam imagine the knocks he absorbs doing it. Last year, with
1,377 put-outs, his brilliant play at first base was only 6/1000ths short of Perfect.
For a sense of deep-down contentment--just give me Camels. After a good man-sized meal, that little
phrase 'Camel set you right' covers the way I feel. Camels set me right, whether I'm eating,
working--or just enjoying life
"Another Big Reason why I prefer Camels,"---continues Lou,(above)--"is that I get a 'lift' with a
Camel!" Enjoy Camels freely---for digestion's sake! Camels are mild--smooth and friendly to the
throat.
