[ SIX STEPS TO MORE SMOKING PLEASURE AGEING—Chesterfield’s mild ripe tobaccos, like fine wines, are aged for two or more years in huge wooden casks. Here they gradu- ally acquire that true Chesterfield mildness and better taste which give millions of smokers more pleasure. STEMMING —“Almost human” is what they say about the inter esting stemming machines, whose fingers pick up the tobacco, leaf by leaf and take out the stem, leaving only the mild, tender, good-tasting part of the leaf to go into the making of Chesterfields. ieldl Tosactos BLENDING —There is only one Chesterfield blend ... the blend that can’t be copied . .. a happy combination of the world’s best American and Turkish tobaccos. Just the right proportions to make Chesterfield a milder, better-tast- smokeiswrapped in pure cigarette paper...the finest cigarette gaper made. That’s another reason why Chesterfields are milder and bet- ter-tasting. MAKING — Almost faster than the eye can follow, Chesterfields come rolling out of the marvel- ous cigarette making machines. Chesterfields are always round, firm and well-filled. e} PACKAGING —Truly amazing are the packaging machines which wrap and seal Chesterfields in their air-tight, moisture-proof packages. Regardless of where you buy them, Chesterfields reach you as fresh as the day they were made. Heiress Weds Barman Mr. and Mrs. Gene Bradstreet ire pictured after marriage in Reno, Nevada.
