Napoleon, you're just an old Fuddy Duddy LOTS of thinking is being i done these days about the national defense. "Lee's have faster battleships," says the sail or. "Speedier airplanes," says the flyer. "Put wheels on the doughboy," says the soldier. Mobility's the thing. Wherefore the oil industry by developing into a great contributor toward the peace and happiness of mankind has become the nation's might iest bulwark in time of war. Mobility on sea or land or in the air is spelled with three let ters oil. Still bright is the rule of Napoleon, a strong but bygone character, that to win in war you must get there first j with the most men. But hu j inchworm notions of travel are, oh, so obsolete. i .)Ji Because it's geared to a busy peace, because it's practiced in meeting vastly changing needs, national in scope the oil in t dustry is always ready for an f emergency. It's a peacetime army of a million persons. Yet this vital armament cost Uncle Sam not one penny. Instead, it i bears the heaviest of all tax burdens, i Private enterprise has created in the oil industry a pruning hook and plowshare which are also America's sword and buck ler. It's an accomplishment which Napoleon, with all his . genius, couldn't even imagine. 'y Standard Oil Company, f of California A.A.U.W.

Bright, Maryland, hurley and Turkish. ALL THESE TOBACCOS except Turkish (which is bought direct from the planters in Turkey and Greece) and Maryland (which is bought through sealed bids under government supervision) are bought at publio auction, just like any other auction where you might have bought in a table or a chair. AT THE AUCTION SALE the tobacco is piled in baskets weighing from about 100 to 500 pounds and each purchaser buys all of his tobaccos by competitive bidding for the particular piles he wants. THE CHESTERFIELD BUYERS buy the best of these mild ripe tobaccos for the Chesterfield blend. And it is Chesterfield's Combination ... the right amounts of Burley and Bright . . . just enough Maryland . . . and just enough Turkish that makes the big difference between Chesterfield and other cigarettes. It IS BECAUSE of this combination that Chesterfields are COOLER, have a BETTER TASTE and are DEFINITELY MILDER. They are made of the world's best cigarette tobaccos.
