j struck girl advances to the cheaper
! Bowery showhouses and finally, by
I dint of hard work, becomes a legiti

-not forgetting the mothers and sweet
hearts! Here's some honest advice on
what to give the man who smokes . . .
Prince Albert pipe tobacco! Nothing
could make more of a hit with a smoker
than good old P. A.
The handsome pound crystal-glass
humidor with the sponge-moistener top
will carry the joy of Christmas morning
far into the new year. Every cool, fra
grant pipeful will bring new pleasure
and everlasting gratitude for your excel
lent judgment.
Then there are the pound and half-
pound tin humidors for the smoking
table at home, the desk at the office, the
work-bench. More important than the
containers (good-looking as they are) is
the tobacco that's in them . . . Prince
Albert, the most enjoyable smoke mortal
man ever knew.
The pound crystal-glass humidor is
especially arrayed in Christmas clothes.
A space is provided for writing
'To "and "From ." No
further wrapping needed. Convenient!
No matter what the size or amount, give
Prince Albert. You cannot do better!
