Squadron Leader FRD Swain R.A.F. needed steady nerves and sharp wits to break the German world altitude record. At altitudes straining 150 meters, however, no aeronaut could keep lit a cool, smooth Ogden’s 3-Nicotines-Enriched Duke of Gloucester. How was a bloke to keep his wits about him?
Ogden’s scienticians heard the pleas. Working around the clock, they produced the Swain High Altitude Leisure Suit. At ground level, the SHALS is pressurized with the equivalent of 1,000 child sized lungfuls of smoke - enough to carry Swain above and beyond the German altitude record.
Now, put that in your pipe and smoke it, Jerry!
