THE BATTALION i is a grandt ^ little pal PRINCE ALBERT is the kind of a smoke you get clubby with, right off the bat. You’ll be calling each other by your first names after the very first pipe-load. It is so gen uinely friendly, in spirit and in fact. P. A. treats your tongue and throat as gently as a mother handles a new-born baby. Never a bite. Never a parch. These are details, of course. The thing you’ll s emember longest is that wonder- / % j:1 taste! So cool, so sweet, so i ootbing. No matter how hard you hit it up, this long-burning tobacco never hits back. You can go to it before classes, and right through to Lights Out. Get yourself a tidy red tin of Prince Albert today: The School of Experience has never produced a greater smoke than good old P. A. P. A. is sold every where in tidy red tins, pound and half-pound tin humidors, and <rs, ana tal-glass pound crysta humidors with spongc- moistener top. And always with every bit of bite and parch re moved by the Prince Albert process. no other tobacco is like it! © 1927, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, N. C. MAJOR GEN.
