Erdős problem 1055

A prime $p$ is in class $1$ if the only prime divisors of $p+1$ are $2$ or $3$. In general, a prime $p$ is in class $r$ if every prime factor of $p+1$ is in some class $\leq r-1$, with equality for at least one prime factor. Show that for each $r$ there exists a prime $p$ of class $r$.
