Scanned from Taschen’s “All-American Ads 1900-1919”.

“Satisfy – I’ll say so.

This Chesterfield cigarette does more than please the taste. It gives smokers a new kind of cigarette enjoyment, 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 proportioned 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 cigarettes that satisfy.’

Note – Chesterfield’s moisture-proof package keeps them firm and fresh, whatever the weather.”

Sometimes I am wondering if there has been only one proof for advertising on from the beginning.
