which n moment later stood out boldly
in the glare, of several searchlights.

military funeral in England bus
aroused some opposition. The Even

haps not too late to reconsider this
cgregoiious official blunder and to
give these baby killers n plain, de
cent funeral such as would be given,
say, to an English workingmnn who
after a long life in honest industry,
unfortunately dies in the work
house."

How America's largest cigarette manufacturer
has accomplished "the Impossible' by productng
a MILD cigarette thai SATISFIES. It is -the
Chesterfield Cigarette :
ALMOST anybody can make a
cup of coffee. But there are
JL JL said to be not over a. half-dozen
restaurants in the United States where
they know how to make it rigit.
Similarly, almost anyone can make
a cigarette. Just roll up some tobacco
in a piece of pure paper and there
you are.
There are, perhaps, over 800 brands
of cigarettes sold in this country to
day. But not one of them docs what
Chesterfields do for Chesterfields arc
MILD; and yet they SATISFY.
' Some cigarettes may be mild, but
they don't satisfy. Only one cigarette
does BOTH Chesterfield !
This truly unique cigarette has all
of that refreshing taste - delicacy (or
mildness) which any good cigarette
must have. Yet, without sacrificing
any of this delightful mildness. Ches
terfields go one step further : they do
more than merely "please your taste"
they let you know you've been
smoking. They satisfy!
.-.And yet they're mild!
A Step Forbuard
in Cigarette-Makjng
WE are proud to be the firm that
has brought about this important
new development in cigarette enjoy
ment for that is exactly what the
Chesterfield blcndis.
This cigarette Is an outgrowth of
long, earnest effort on the part of this,
the largest cigarette manufacturing
concern in the United States.
The mild, yet satisfying! Chester
field blend is not the result of happy
chance. It is one of the results of
our many years of cigarette experience
of the heavy volume of our purchases
of cigarette tobacco of the prestige
and advantage these enormous pur
chases give us in securing the choicest
leaf from the tobacco fields of the world.
Chesterfields are an achievement.

Smoke them ,and.;ve believe you

Give Chesterfields (20 for 10 cents)
a trial. We believe you will be glad
to learn what they can leach you about
cigarette enjoyment.
You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state-
ments about a cigarette. If Chester
fields were an untried cigarette if we
had not been observing their behavioi
in other cities if we did not KNOW
that they make good with smokers, we
could not afford to make these state
ments to you over our signature.
But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you
until you have actually smoked your
