Here's a price list from 1897 for Drmond brand tobacco. You can Chesterfield's came 10 to a pack. This list is one of my favorite Drummond pieces.
Ted, good question regarding chesterfield, but here's a theory... As you can see by the prices even in 1897, Chesterfield's cost 2 times per cigarette than their Drum line. Maybe Chesterfields were targeting an upper class that were turned off by baseball cards or other advertisments. Maybe they consider it their "luxury" line of cigarettes.
