Camels: "I've found 8, great deal of pleasure in Camels.
They never interfere with my wind." Rip Collins, of
the St. Louis Cardinals, says: "Here's the best proof I
know that Camels are mild: I can smoke them steadily,
and they never get my wind."
Rowland Dufton, of the New York A. C, says:
"Camels never upset my nerves or get my wind. That's
what I call real mildness!"
Dick Shclton, world -champion steer dogger, and
these two brilliant campaigners in the golfing wars,
