These old tobacco ads sure take me back – way back.  I remember selling Prince Albert “tin or loose” tobacco at our general store in DeGrau.  Sickle “Stick or Plug” tobacco was also very popular with the older pipe-smoking set.  When I was in my early teens I thought it was great being able to buy a couple of “loose” cigarettes because most of our crowd (aged between 12 and 14 yrs old at the time) could not afford to buy a full package and only a few knew how to roll their own.  Yep, those were the days.
