It's Chesterfield time, pleasure time, the order of the day with radio listeners everywhere. Chesterfield presents George Burns and Gracie Allen, Frank Parker, Ray Noble and his orchestra. Alright Ray, one, two. This is Paul Douglas speaking and last week I told you how Chesterfield's tobacco buyers visit the leading markets of the world to get the best cigarette tobacco.
Every one of these tobacco's is outstanding for some quality smokers like, like, and the way Chesterfield blends and balances them together gives a lot more smoking pleasure. Here's the reason. Chesterfield's have the right combination of mild, ripe, home-grown and aromatic Turkish tobaccos rolled in pure cigarette paper.
No cigarette can do more for you than Chesterfield. No other cigarette can give you Chesterfield's refreshing mildness, better taste and more pleasing aroma. It's the blend that can't be copied. Mr. Fields satisfied millions. Campers have their weekends under the pine trees.
Swimmers have their weekends under beach umbrella. Astronomers have their weekends under the stars, but George and Gracie have their weekends under their hats. In other words, Chester Fields give you a chest two fools and here they are, Georgie.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh Gracie, what do you say to everybody? Hello. Hello. Isn't that wonderful? Oh George, I'm having such a wonderful rest in New York. Nothing to do and all day to do it in.
So, you're getting a good rest, I think. Oh, yes. Last night I went to the store, clogged the Elle Morocco, the other netties, the 21, the Paris, the paradise, the sole of the slip of the cotton cup and the cookie note.
Those are nice places to rest. Yeah, I think so. And tonight I'm going sight singing, then taking a movie, walk up and down Broadway, then going to a cafe and running to village, and then drive out to the beach for a clam day.
