Dad changed the oil in our car himself, filed the points and gapped/changed the plugs, but he had the service station lube the chassis and mount/dismount the snow tires every fall/spring.

Hmmm...another Judge. Dr. Christian better show up soon to show that not all professional men like straight burley.

I’m too old to do much on the cars anymore. But I sure do remember those days. Dwell meters, timing lights, winter weight oil and antifreeze changes … and studded snow tires. Other than the tires, I did a lot of that myself. ‘Permanently sealed‘ chassis joints were a big deal when they first came out.

Five minutes after I got home from work, my tie was replaced by a tee shirt.
Because. U. Deserve. What. Every. Individual. Should. Enjoy. Regularly. From the late 70's.
Not much of a Bud drinker, especially once they woke up and got owned by InBev... Pretty sure Adolphus Busch is rolling in his grave.

A great bargain.
It says "your name or other short message." Could you tell them to inscribe "Like Hell It's Yours!" on the stem?
The modern Revelation Match from P & C doesn't have the Carolina leaf, but the other 4 leaf types are said to be in there. What did the Carolina contribute? (Aside from nothing "finer than to be in Carolina in the morning," of course.)
P & C also say that this was one of Einstein's favorite blends. True?

I imagine as long as it was not obscene, they would have inscripted it.

North Carolina tobaccos are for the most part brighter VA varieties, from later established farm belts.
Some have opined that Carolina leaves are not as rich as the native-grown VAs, or that the former are somewhat more of a blend ‘filler’, but I think that a harsh assessment.
North Carolina is a tobacco production leader, so there is obviously strong demand for it still.
So nowadays, it may be superfluous to add it as a variety ‘separate’ from a VA, as PM did in these older ads. Or the old Revelation leaned towards the redder VAs, which might justify the distinction.

I can see the wheels turning in her head...."thousands, you say? And all that has to take place for me to get it is....you die? Hmmmm...."
