Quote:

I struck a match amid the rain drops, while there we waited you and I. A little flame revealed we both liked Chesterfield you knowI knowThey Satisfy. You smiled and said, 'They do taste better' And I replied, 'They're milder, too.' Those words just fit them to the letter.' You knowI knowthey're true. And now we're furnishing a cottage where we'll be happy by and by. Because the night we met, you held that cigarette you knowI knowthey Satisfy.

Comments:

A poem is illustrated in this advertisement – a man lights a woman’s cigarette in the pouring rain. When they realize that they both prefer Chesterfield cigarettes, they fall madly in love. The spark is literally lit between them, illuminating the healthy glow in their cheeks. The love story appeals to younger viewers who are still searching for that special someone, and may be convinced that changing their cigarette brand to Chesterfield will help them find their soul mate.
