# Chesterfield Cigarettes Advertisement This is a **cigarette advertisement**, not satire or political commentary. It features a man in casual 1920s-30s attire (cap, white shirt, suspenders) holding a tennis racket, with the tagline "Satisfy—I'll say so." The ad claims Chesterfield cigarettes offer superior enjoyment through a secret blend of Turkish and domestic tobaccos that "go straight to your smoke-spot—they satisfy." It emphasizes the brand's moisture-proof packaging. This represents **pre-regulation tobacco marketing**, when cigarette companies could make health-related claims and target consumers without warning labels. Modern readers should note this advertisement predates any understanding of smoking's health dangers and reflects historical advertising practices now prohibited in most countries.

Sa tisfy- III say so.” HIS Chesterfield cigarette does more than please the taste. It gives smok- ers a new kind of cigarette enjoy- ment, the one thing they’ve always wished for in a cigarette. Chesterfields let you know you’re smoking —they go straight to your smoke-spot—they satisfy. It’s because of the blend—an exactly pro- portioned blend of the finest Turkish and Domestic tobaccos. And the formula for this blend is the manufacturer’s secret. It cannot be copied—or even closely imitated. Today—ask your dealer for “those ciga- rettes that satisfy.” NOTE—Chesterfield’s moisture- proof package keeps them firm and fresh, whatever the weather.
