was customary for each knight to
raise the visor of his helmet as a
means of identification. This ges
ture has come down through all

preference for Camel cigarettes.

rines, and Coast Guard, actual
sales records in their service
stores show that Camel is the
favorite. It’s one of the favorite
gifts with service men. And though
there are Post Office restrictions
on packages to overseas Army
men, you can still send Camels to
soldiers in the U. S., and to men
in the Navy, Marines, and Coast
Guard wherever they are.—Adv.
