The first cargo of Virginia to- bacco was shipped to England more than three hundred years ago.

Today this same golden tobac- co is known the world over and is used in three-fourths of all cigarettes made. For it is the ideal cigarette tobacco, mellow and sweet and cool and fragrant.

You'll find all of its delightful taste and aroma in Old Mill cigarettes because they contain nothing but high grade, golden Virginia tobacco.
