AND having wonderful time! Yes,
Sir. P. A. makes the finest cigarette that
ever took form in your fingers. Easier
to roll. This tobacco is crimp-cut, which
means that you don't need scoop or
broom TO take up the spillage. P. A.
stays put in the papers. This is just an
item, of course. The tastes the thing.
just get yourself tidy red tin of
Prince Albert today and get going with
some of these masterful cigarettes. You'll
find them cool. You'll find them sweet.
You'll find them fragrant, as you roll
them, and as you smoke them. Delight
fully fragrant.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-08-26

You never weary of rolling and smok-
ing them. The reason for all of this is
the wonderful quality of the tobacco.
Prince Albert has no near-relatives. Not
even second-cousin. To get the most
out of a home-rolled cigarette, you must
get Prince Albert. That's prescription
and a promise!
Pipe-smokers, too, know the joys of
jimmy-pipe packed with P. A. They'll
tell you that P. A. does things to pipe
makes it perform in way good pipe
should. No matter how settled you think
you are, if you don't know Prince Albert,
you don't know complete pipe-joy.
