Christmas shopping needn’t be a
tiring experience if you follow this
suggestion. For friends who enjoy
the pleasure of cigarette or pipe
smoking—here are two great gift
items that are sure to please. For
the man or woman who prefers
mild, mellow, rich-tasting ciga­
rettes, select a carton of Camels,
a national favorite. And for the
pipe-smoker, w isely choose a
pound tin of^he largest-selling pipe
tobacco, Prince Albert. Both
Camels and Prince Albert come in
gay gift packages. No other gift
wrapping is necessary. Camels
and Prince Albert are “ ready to ;
