Something should be done Either
a decent courthouse should be
built at the present c ounty seat

ed to a location which the major-

The feature of Chesterfields is that they be -gin
where other cigarettes leave off
In other words besides pleasing the taste
Chesterfields go ’em all one better — they sat-
isfy! Just like a long drink of cold water sat-
isfies when you’re downright thirsty
No other cigarette can give you this new
thing in cigarette enjoyment because none can
copy Chesterfield’s blend
It’s a blend of the finest TURKISH tobaccos
from Xanthi Cavalla Smyrna and Samsoun
and several varieties of the choicest DOMES-
TIC And the blend itself — the skill with
which these tobaccos have been proportioned
— is a real discovery in cigarette making
