THAT means "Pipa Amoroso” in the Latin, or "pipe-lover” in plain campus English. P. A. has certainly endeared a pipe to more men than any other letters in the smoke-alphabet. Because Prince Albert lets a fellow smoke all he wants to—and makes him want to! Cool as the stare of a marble Venus. Sweet as the approach of vacation. Fragrant as spring blossoms. Think up your own similes, Fellows. You will when you pick P. A. and a jimmy-pipe for permanent roommates. Prince Albert is great tobacco, and that’s not blah. Get yourself a tidy red tin of Prince Albert today. Fill the bowl of that old jimmy-pipe to the brim and borrow a match. Then you’re set for some great smoke-sessions, as sure as you’re a foot high. Fringe albert —no other tobacco is like it! P. A. is sold everywhere in tidy red tins, pound and half, pound tin humidors, and pound crystal-glass humidors with sponge-moistener top. And always with every bit of bite and parch removed by the Prince Albert process. © 19 26. B. J. Reynolds Tobaeco Company. Winston-Salem. N. C.
