Little Chiva

The makers of camel cigarettes present dick-powel as Richard Diamond private detective. How mild can a cigarette be? One puff won't tell you. One sniff won't tell you.

It takes day in, day out smoking to find out how mild a cigarette is, how well it agrees with your throat. Make this sensible cigarette test. The thorough test. Smoke only camels for 30 days and see just how mild a cigarette can be.

Here, transcribed is Richard Diamond, private detective starring Dick Powell. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon. It was cold out and it had been raining. When it got a little warmer, it would probably snow. The whole city was covered with a heavy sheet of ice and the steam heat in my office gurgled and clouded up

the windows. I was feeling pretty good. I was worn. I'd had one client in the past Last week, my bank account was on its way to recovery, and a good breakfast in the drugstore downstairs, it made me comfortable and drowsy.

I put my feet up on the desk, lean back in my chair, and close my eyes. Mr. Diamond? I must have been napping and didn't know it. I hadn't heard the door open, but there he stood, framed at the door, resting his weight on the jam, and looking across the room at me with tired highs.

Mr. Diamond? Yes, sir. What can I do for you? My name is Abel Gunther. I want to hire you. Alright, Mr. Gunther, I charge you a hundred a day and expenses. I don't think I can pay it. I can pay you some, but I don't think I can pay you that much.
