    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.”

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?
Because they’re made from the
heart-leaves of the tobacco plant
