Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Chesterfield cigarettes. This ad, which also mentions his new Sherlock Holmes movie Dressed to Kill has a picture of him lighting a Chesterfield with a match with the caption “Yes! it’s Elementary”. In a tribute to the detective there are two magnifying glasses with a red lens and the letters “ABC” inside. As usual the ad gives several versions of what the letters stand for, in one it says “A Always Milder, B Better Tasting, C Cooler Smoking” and in the other it says “Always Buy Chesterfield” as it claims they have the “Right combination of the World’s Best Tobaccos Properly Aged“.
