BOY. howdy! You'll say so the first
one you roll with Prince Albert, the bet
ter tobacco for cigarettes. P. A. rolls
slick as a whistle. Doesn't futter away
ON the first breeze or spill all around.
That's because P. A. is crimp-cut. 1t
burns better for the same reason.
And that taste! There's the real test
after all. A cigarette made with P. A.
tastes SO good you'll be making one right
after the other. From morning right up
to closing-time. Cool as breeze from
the North. Sweet as butter-taffy. Fra
grant as wind-blown blossoms. That's
Prince Albert! Good old Prince Albert,
the better cigarette tobacco.
