Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Dragnet is brought to you by Chesterfield, made by Liggett and Myers. First major tobacco company to bring you a complete line of quality cigarettes.

You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a juvenile detail. You get a report of drug addiction within a group of teenagers. You don't know if the information is true. Your job? Check it out. Meet Peter Lynn Hayes and Mary Healy, America's favorite husband and wife comedy team.

They are typical of smokers everywhere who are saying Chesterfield's for me. Mary says, I've smoked regular size Chesterfield's for about seven years. Guess I don't approve how I feel about Chesterfield's taste in mildness. Peter says Chesterfield's for me too.

As far as I'm concerned, King is the only size. And like Mary says, Chesterfield is the only cigarette. Either way you like them. I bet you'll find just to feel this best for you. Yes, Smoke America is most popular, two-way cigarette.

Regular and king-sized Chesterfield. For the taste you want, the mildness you want, join the thousands now changing to Chesterfield. Always say, Chesterfield's for me. The documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official
