In other words, of all tobacco grown, only one half per cent. reaches the standard which we have set up for State Express cigarettes. No leaf is used which has not passed the strictest test of our Ex- perts. The bright golden tint so noticeable in 555 proclaims its goodness.
This purity is further enhanced by special pro- cesses which eliminate all stalk, sand and dust- exclusive features that make State Express 555 the one best cigarette.
