When you see news photos of
soldiers “off duty” in camp or be
hind the battle-lines—notice how
often you’ll see them smoking a
cigarette. There’s a good reason
for that. Army officials say that
cigarettes are an appreciable fac
tor in maintaining morale—and
the soldiers themselves add that a
carton of cigarettes from home is
always welcome. What brand?
Well, sales records in Post Ex
changes and Canteens show that
Camels are the favorite cigarette
with men in all the services.
Though there are Post Office re
strictions on packages to overseas
Army men, you can still send
Camels to soldiers in the U. S„
and to Sailors, Marines, and Coast
Guardsmen wherever they are.—
