The picture you see here was taken inside one of our modern storage ware- houses where the tobaccos for Chester- field are put away. There are about four and one-half miles of these Liggett & Myers ware- houses filled with thousands of casks of Domestic and Turkish tobaccos, most of it lying there ageing and mellowing for Chesterfield cigarettes. It takes just about three years to age the tobacco for your Chesterfields. Everything that money can buy and that science knows about that can make a cigarette that’s mild- er, a cigarette that tastes better, is used in making Chesterfields.
