O7HEN you ask Chesterfield
w smoker why that's his brand he
generally comes right out fat-footed and
says. Its because They're Miideyl"
So we're going to keep on doing
everything we know how to keep them
that way.
That's why we look for and buy the
mildest and ripest tobaccos we can get.
That's why we age them in our ware
houses till they're mellow and sweet.
We believe that even the shredding
of the tobacco and the quality of the
paper it's rolled in, have lot to do
with the even-drawing, mild smoke that
people enjoy in Chesterfelds.
You can bank on this. every method
known TO science is used to- make Chest
erfeld milder. better-tasting cigarette
that satisfies.
