A very small reproduction that I captured from eBay at some time in the past. Captions read (to the best of my ability):All you pipe lads, Ahoy! [I think]
Here's a smoke you'll enjoy!
YO HO! AND THE FLAVOR IS RUM!
Not a trace of tongue-bite,
This new mixture is right!
YO HO! AND THE FLAVOR IS RUM!
Give your pet pipe a lift--
At a dime, it's a gift!
YO HO! AND THE FLAVOR IS RUM!
Ask for Friends, don't forget!
Friends, you'll like it best yet!
YO HO! AND THE FLAVOR IS RUM!
Hmmm...yes, well, perhaps advertising poetry has come a long way since then.
Classic. I love how it gets you singing the song in your head...AND THE FLAVOR IS RUM! Jeoffrey, Crisco and some of the boys are putting this together if you are interested: http://pipesmokingbloggers.blogspot.com/
