summer and to their frozen
courses overland in winter.

you meet me in the city’s crowded canyons
Along the invisible lanes of the air, or among jostling thousands in the
dry's streets . . . it's all the same to Chesterfield. For here’s a cigarette that
goes everywhere, and that tastes right anywhere. Milder and better tobaccos
— nothing else—that’s what you taste in Chesterfield. And, thanks to the
"cross-blend,” ail of that mild, good taste and aroma is retained!
For NINETEEN 7ears, our Research Department has
kept intimate touch with every new development of Science
that could be applied to the manufacture of cigarettes.
During this period there has been no development of tested
value or importance to the smoker which we have not
incorporated ioto the making of Chesterfield cigarettes.
