Chesterfield Cigarettes 1940s

Hindsight is definitely 20/20! Here's a 1940s ad featuring Ronald Reagan endorsing Chesterfield Cigarettes. The ad reads:

"I'm Sending Chesterfields to all my friends. That's the merriest Christmas any smoker can have - Chesterfield mildness plus no unpleasant after taste." —Ronald Reagan 
"Buy the beautiful Christmas Carton."

The ad also promotes his upcoming movie "Hong Kong" a Paramount Production. I'm sure he regretted this deal when he was having to promote the Presidential fitness program in the 80s. Oops!
