A Mon Who Thinks for Himself

Yes, there is one-apart from all those fellows who we thought existed only in the cigarette advertisements, He's W. C. "Ketch" Ketchersid of Prescott. Talking to him at the cocktail party which preceded the Arizona Convention's annual banquet, we were ofrered a cigarette and, noticing the unfamiliar appearance of the package, we inquired as to the brand. "Picayune." \ll/ell, they smoke just fine, but with a name like that, we doubt if they'll ever go over big.

"Make a fire house get away on timber sales! The pole is greased with a brand new competitive price schedule, bound to keep the wires hot. Leading smoke eaters agree, Lam-Loc Timbers are the best for strength, easy construction and just plain beauty. We'll anticipate your call."
