Do you know the new regulations
on packages sent to men in the
service? Here they are: You can
send packages to soldiers any
where in the U. S., although there
are now Post Office restrictions on
packages to overseas Army men;
and you can send packages to men
in the Navy, Coast Guard, and
Marines, wherever they are. And
when you send that package from
home, remember—the gift men in
the service always appreciate is
cigarettes. And the favorite with
men in the Army, Navy, Coast
Guard, and Marines is Camel
(based on actual sales records in
Post Exchanges and Canteens).
So stop in at your local dealer
today—and mail him a carton of
Camels.—Adv.
