Pure food, pure milk, pure water
in all the things you eat or drink,
you want absolute purity.
D
runty counts
in cigarettes, too
Making cigarettes as pure as they can be
made is our business. And it’s your bus
iness, too — because you smoke them.
All the materials that go into the making of
Chesterfield cigarettes are tested again and
again by expert research chemists to see that they
are absolutely clean and pure. Just like the things
you eat or drink.
The tobacco is pure. The right kind—mild,
sweet and ripe! Handled throughout by the
most modern machinery.
The paper is pure. Clean. White. The best
cigarette paper that money can buy.
There is cleanliness in every step of Chester
field’s manufacture. Old-fashioned methods
have been discarded, and Chesterfields are
made and packed in modern sanitary factories
where even the air is washed, and changed every
four-and-one-half minutes.
Every day more men and women are chang
ing to Chesterfield. And changing for good!
Four big reasons clinch the choice: Milder—
Taste Better—Pure—Satisfy.
