and pleading for a romp with
the sled.

in conformation and color as Jo

pooch, malamute or mutt and de

to harness had only to drop a hint

1 By the time the Pooch Express
arrived at The Gateway office a

j would make a mutt show green

| their tails and snickered when they

iection. Aside from these leaders
the team was composed of rankest
greenhorns in the poochmobile
game. None had been harnessed
before.
. When the string of linked ween
ies swung into the main stem, de
livery vans backed onto the side
walks and trucks went into re
verse of their own accord and
sought vacant lots, while- alley
cats went after polersitting cham
pionships and some of them are
up there yet.
There were crosses running the
entire scale of muttdom from the
product of canine scandals to
crosses between a coyote and a
pinto reindeer parka. This latter
specimen had been turned out of
the garage in reverse gear, and

TIL HAVE been telling the pub
v r lie for a good many years that
Chesterfields taste better. They satisfy!
That wouldn’t mean a thing if smok
ers found out that it wasn t so. No
body can fool the people very long.
But a great many smokers have
smoked Chesterfields for a long time,
and they know that they taste right.
And so they say to their friends, “If
you want a cigarette that really tastes
better, try Chesterfields!”
Chesterfields taste better because
they are made of mild tobaccos that
have been aged for two years. And
there is just enough Turkish in them
. .. but not too much.
We are sure that you, too, will en
joy their Mildness and Better Taste.
