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!”

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.
