THE BATTALION Blindfolded . . . in scientific test of leading Cigarettes f Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt selects old Gold Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt “ ‘I wonder if one can really tell the difference, when blindfolded,’ was my first thought when invited to make this test. “After smoking the four brands, as they were handed to me one after another, I discovered there was one that was noticeably smoother than the others and richer in taste. “This proved to be an Old Gold. I hope I shall be able to buy them in Paris . . . they are surprisingly free from any trace of throat irritation and have a delightful aroma which to me is very important.” \%\\\ Mi \) Wuter How Test Was Made Mrs. Vanderbilt was blind folded, and, in the pres ence of two responsible witnesses, was given one each of the four leading cigarettes to smoke . . . To clear the taste, coffee was served before each ciga rette . . . Mrs. Vanderbilt was unaware of the iden tity of these cigarettes during test. .. After smok ing the four cigarettes, Mrs. Vanderbilt was asked to designate by number her choice . . . She imme diately replied: “Number 3”... which was OldGOLD. Why can you pick them in the dark?
