T.he Criswell tour company of Los
Angeles writes the local Chamber
of Commerce they have outlined a
budget of national advertising for
this season for the benefit of the
Territory and providing each town
or city in Alaska subscribes to the
sum alloted, the company feels con
fident the campaign will add greatly
to tourist travel. The company
pointed out the extensive publicity
being carried on by various States,
resorts, steamship and railroad com
panies, in contrast to Alaska which
holds more scenic lure and legend
than most.
The sum of $350 was Seward’s
share of the plan but at yesterday’s
regular weekly meeting and luncheon
of the Chamber, held at the Seward
Grill, it was decided to shelf the
communication permanently.

ON THAT basis alone, I select the to
bacco that gives me pleasure in the great
est measure. (I wasn’t deliberately trying
to make a rhyme.) That tobacco is
Prince Albert • •. good old Prince Albert,
known as The National Joy Smoke—
and for good reason!
Have you never known the thrill of
opening a tidy red tin of this fine old
favorite and inhaling that wonderful fra
grance? Have you never sat at one end
of a pipe with P. A. at the other end and
tasted that marvelous smoke? Then it’s
high time to start!
Buy yourself some Prince Albert to
day. Fill your pipe to the brim and light
up. Notice how refreshingly cool it is,
no matter how fast you feed it. Notice,
too, that it is mild without sacrificing that
full, rich body which you demand in a
smoking tobacco.
I tell you in all sincerity: If you have
never smoked Prince Albert, you simply
don’t know how good that old jimmy
pipe can taste. No matter how satis
fied you think you are, try a tin of
Prince Albert. No friend ever gave you
a straighter tip.
