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!
