Chesterfield
Taste, taste, taste- what else matters?
GOOD taste knows neither frontiers
nor continents.
A shrewd blend of Virginia, Turkish, and Kentucky tobaccos a perfect bal- ancing of mildness, rich aroma, and "body" -and, as a result, a cigarette which tastes immeasurably better than any one tobac co smoked "straight."
On taste, and taste alone, Chesterfield
is America's fastest-growing cigarette. And its steady growth in popularity over here, among smokers of all nations, rests on the same solid foundation-its untiring good taste.
