“Keep Us Alive—”
In these days of national and
world readjustment every reserve of
hope, faith and courage are required |
to enable each of us to swim against
the sti-ong tides of life’s demands. We j
cannot afford to cringe or retreat as j
we, individually and collectively, i
wage war on human selfishness and '
greed—the two. evil influences that j
have brought this great nation of •
curs to its prayerful knees. With,
now determination, let us join the old j
Scotch clergyman who, in a day of,
great need, asked: “Please, Lord, j
keep me alive as long as I live.” j

Not so long ago practically all
cigarettes were made by hand
Now, Chesterfields are made by high-speed machines
that tarn out 750 cigarettes a minute, and the
cigarettes are practically not touched by hand.
BY the use of long steel ovens
—drying machines of the
most modern type—and by age
ing the leaf tobacco for 30
months—like wine is aged—
Chesterfield tobacco is milder
and tastes better.
Only pure cigarette paper—
* the best made—is used fbr
‘ Chesterfield.
And to make sure that every
thing that goes into Chesterfield
is just right, expert chemists
test all materials that are used
in any way in the manufacture.
Chesterfields are made and
packed in clean, up-to-date fac
tories, where the air is changed
every Wz minutes. The mois
ture-proof package, wrapped in
Du Pont’s No. 300 Cellophane
-rthe best made—reaches you
just as if you went by the fac
tory door.
In a letter to us, an emi
nent scientist says:
"Chesterfield Cigarettes
are just as pure as the
water you drink. ”
