Scrap Iron Value to Weapons and Camel Cigarettes as Gifts
Army ordnance estimates show one ton of scrap iron could yield a 75mm field gun carriage or two dozen machine guns or a 2000 pound battleship shell. Soldiers prefer Camel cigarettes and Prince Albert tobacco as ideal gifts, sales records indicate, for Army Navy Marine Corps and Coast Guard men. Local dealers market Camels by the carton and Prince Albert by the tin for service members.
