SINCE LEAVING SEATTLE
_ i
i Lieut. Joseph B. Canfield, who suc
ceeds Lieutenant Jones in the local
! quartermaster’s department, U. S.
J Signal Corps, was among The guests
• at the Chamber of Commerce lunche
ion. Though only having just arrived,
and hardly having an opportunity of
seeing much of the city or its citizens,
j the lieutenant said that he likes Sew
| ard better than any town that he
has seen since leaving Seattle, and
also the best looking. He feels sure
that his two years of residence here
will be pleasant. He paid a marked
compliment to Lieutenant Jones, his
! predecessor, and felt that it would be
quite a task to toe the mark and to
1 assist as had Lieutenant Jones, but
| that he would be at all times only too
i glad to render such assistance as he
j .
is capable of.
Leon Urbach, president of the Cham
I ber, replied to Lieutenant Canfield in
| a few1 well chosen words, ending in in
j intruding the secretary to issue a

Successor to Billy Patterson
YOU don’t need a degree from Oxford
to figure out why so many men smoke
pipes today—and enjoy them. Pipe
smoking has increased at least three-fold
since Prince Albert came into the picture.
And pipe-pleasure has increased a thou
sand-fold. And with good reason!
Prince Albert in the bowl of your pipe
means pipe-joy • coming up the stem.
That’s the story of P. A.’s tremendous
popularity in a pipe-bowl. You suspect
that Prince Albert is wonderful tobacco
the instant you open the tidy red tin and
set free that rich, rare fragrance. That’s
a treat in itself!
Your "suspicions” arc confirmed the
minute that cool, comforting smoke
comes rolling over your tongue. Never
did pipe-tobacco taste as good as that.
Cool and sweet and mellow and mild
—long-burning—why, P. A. just has
everything you ever wanted in a smoke,
including complete satisfaction.
No matter how hard you hit it up,
P. A. never bites your tongue or parches
your throat. You can start in right after
breakfast and stay with it until bedtime.
You may think your pipe is delivering
capacity pipe-joy now. Never mind.
Until you’ve tried P. A., you won’t know.
P. A. is soli everywhere in tidy red
tins, pound end half-pound tin humi
dors, end pound crystal-glass humidors
with sponge-moistener top. And
always with every bit of bite and parch
removed by the Prifsce Albert process.
PRINCE ALBERT
— the national joy smoke!
