FOR “THAT MAN S” XMAS | Here’s the Answer to a Very Puzzling Question. Just before the Christmas holidays, when the stores are thronged by the “last-minute rush”: when you've often racked your brains for an idea that will solve the question of what to give | husband, father, Brother Tom or Jack, | when you've looked back on former trials, due to your having picked the wrong tie or a misfit shirt or socks that were too small —did it ever oc cur to you that you might settle the matter quickly and satisfactorily without losing any beauty sleep by giving him a glass humidor of Prince Albert, the national joy smoke? It's a neat looking crystal-glass re ceptacle, holding a pound of the best liked tobacco made. Whenever the supply is exhausted it may readily be replenished, and the humidor keeps the tobacco moist, fresh and fragrant all the time. You will find It In all stores where tobacco is sold, and you needn’t hesi tate to walk rjgbt in and ask for It. The clerk won’t bite and the tobacco can’t either. The bite has been t ken out of P. A. by a wonderful patented process. Think of the pleasure it will give "him" and the possible an noyance it will save you. It's a gift that will not be slipped to the janitor or the office boy, like a tie that j doesn't strike "his” fancy. I And furthermore, when “he" is thinking of a gift for a business as sociate or acquaintance or a male relative, help him out of the diffi culty by suggesting a crystal-glass humidor of Prince Albert. As a man's gift it cannot lie duplicated in accept- i ability by anything else at so nominal 1 a cost, it’s found at the nearest shop that sells tobacco.
