Perry, 20 to 11. was played Aug.
25, 193G. The last, against the;

the Perry quintet; one with the
USS Wasmuth; five against the
Seward High School; four with
the Seward Fire Department; one
with the Anchorage High School;
one with the USS Cedar, and one
with the Anchorage Antlers.

j’time being against the Fire De

When Jack’s ashore he’s liable to be going several places at once! But
there’s one thing Navy men can get together on—whether in Hong Kong,
or Newtown Center: Taste is what they want in their cigarettes—the
taste that comes from milder and better tobaccos, and from nothing else! They
know their cigarettes, these'; men of the fleet Hut’s why Chesterfield is the
Navy’s choice! ' ^

For NINETEEN years, our Research Department tm
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 into the making of Chesterfield cigarettes.
