When you hear a Marine called
a “Leatherneck,” it has nothing
to do with the epidermis of his
neck. Years ago the Marine uni
form was equipped with a high
stiff leather collar supposed to
give a more military carriage.
From that time on, “Leather
neck” has been th$ word for a
Marine. The word for his favorite
cigarette is “Camel”—the favor
ite cigarette also of men in the
Army, Navy, and Coast Guard.
(Based on actual sales records
from service men’s stores.) So if
you want to make a hit with your
friends or relatives in the service,
send a carton of Camels. Your
local dealer is featuring Camel
cartons for service men.—Adv.
