Accomplishing "the impossible" in a cigarette!

It is years since smackers have heard of any NEW quality in a cigarette.

But here is a cigarette that does what smokers would never have believed a cigarette could do.

Here is a cigarette that satisfies--Chesterfields. Chesterfields are different. Chesterfields let you know you're smoking and they SATISFY.

They are a blend of the finest selections of Turkish end American tobaccos. And the formula for this blend is the manufacturer's secret. Unlike a patent, it cannot be copied or even closely imitated.

Light a Chesterfield, and you will realize that they Satisfy.
