The mildest cigarette is bound to be
the one that’s made of the mildest to
baccos. It’s harder to find the milder
varieties—but we pay the price and
get the choice. The world’s finest
Turkish—the world’s finest Domestic
—the purest, mildest and best tobacco
that grows—that’s what we buy*for
Chesterfield.
We tie up millions of dollars age
ing these tobaccos right. Then we
blend and cross-blend them for extra
mildness and taste. Good — they’ve
got to be good!
Everything that money, science and
skill can do to make a milder cigarette
shows up with every puff. A cigarette
can t be made any milder or purer—
you can smoke as many as you like.
And you’ll like as many as you smoke.
