IOTS of cigarettes may please your taste that's all
J you've ever expected from a cigarette.
But here's a cigarette Chesterfield that, besides
pleasing the taste, does another thing, the one thing
always wished a cigarette would do-
Chesterfields just "touch the spot", they let you
know you are smoking they "SATISFY"!
And yet, they're mild! Yes, mild.
Your first few puffs of a Chesterfield will tell you
that this is new enjoyment you're getting out of a
cigarette a cigarette that "satisfies" and yet is mild.
It's the blend that does it plus, of course, the
quality of the tobaccos. For never before have such
costly, high-quality Imported and Domestic tobaccos
been blended together in any cigarette at anywhere
near the price.
This new-to-the-world blend is a real achievement
brought about by the skill and patience of some
of the world's most expert cigarette blenders. And
it can't be copied.
If you're interested in a cigarette that does more
than please your taste buy a package of Chesterfields
at the first cigar store you come to. Today.
