Nnce Albert the national joy imoke brought thousands and thousands of old Jimmy pipes out of the garrets. It has revo utionized pipe and cigarette smoking ! That's because Prince Albert is made by a patented proceet that cuts out the "grouch" and just lets in the sunshine ! Never in your life have you hit such flavor and fragrance and freshness! Play P. A. in a jimmy pipe or roll up the corkingest aaakin's cigarette you ever put fire to. It's all one td the same thing-just good for what ails your MHoksppetite ! And it rolls up so dead easy.
