Some call it mellowness Some say that Camel is the mellowest ciga rette ever made. Some that it’s mild and smooth. It’s really all good things in one, and that is why it is supreme upon the pinnacle of modern favor. Camel’s popu larity today is the largest that any cigarette ever had. And, it costs something to make this kind of a smoke. It costs the choicest tobaccos R . that money can buy, and a blending that spares neither time nor expense. Each Camel cigarette is as full of value as the world of tobacco can give. You can he sure of smoking pleasure, serene and full, in these quality cigarettes. Smoke all of them you want; they simply never tire the taste. ‘Have a Camel!” © 1927 REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. A. & M.

A PRAYER When sardonic death rolls his crooked dice In the game that’s never been won, When round my feet like outworn clothes Past years and deeds I’ve done Lie scattered and soiled or broken and bent And there’s nowhere to hide or fun, May the ashes of pleasure and the dregs of wine Glow and sweeten for one last time, And the slanting rays of my setting sun Paint one more musical rhyme. As I deal the last card and know that I’ve lost In my game so spattered with grime, I pray, Oh I pray for courage to smile As I feel life out of me flow May my eyes light up with pleasures I’ve known In that last long moment or so. One joyous laugh, the gambler’s laugh Then let me pass in its afterglow.
