Quote:

A gallant army of 125,56 nurses help fight your battle in the cause of health. What modern civilization owes the trained nurse can't be figured in dollars. Tireless, patient, efficient, she has earned one of the highest places in public and private esteem. We couldn't do without herwhy not tell her so. Not only do you trust them, but you like them. And it's the same with a good cigarette.

Comments:

In this ad, a Chesterfield cigarette is compared to a nurse – “Not only do you trust them, but you like them,” the ad says, “And it’s the same with a good cigarette.” The ad describes how important nurses are to “modern civilzation” and how they “help fight your battle in the cause of health.” If cigarettes are likened to nurses, as in this ad, do they, too, help fight this battle?

Keywords:
