Smoking the Pipe of Peace

I came across the above photo while google hunting and thought it might go well on the "Epic Threads of Yore" thread. I got to reading the article though and its 1941 vintage and overall worth far outpace its humor. Photos of the full article as well as a transcription can be found here at Smoking the Pipe of Peace. While some of the advice may have changed through the years I find that it's an interesting read. Perhaps you might as well.

No new post would be complete without the obligatory 'spam' at least this one isn't offering I'm an idiots! Nice article and I have seen it before but I can never figure out when it was written!

Bottom line, December 1941. If it was after the 7th I doubt it got too much attention.

Thanks for an interesting read. I must admit that this is the first time I've heard the recommendation of "steaming" a pipe. I'm not sure I'd go that route.

Thanks Steve for bumping this. I liked it a bunch but for whatever reason its original posting here had a lack luster reception. I am glad that the article is getting some good viewing.
