...position in the distributing end could make their influence mighty. If the raise in the wholesale price presages a return to the strict 15? retail price (now two for 25? in most places, 23? in large chain systems), the second menace to the tobacco industry will have been removed. Although chain stores can afford to sell cigarets at no profit, or even a loss, the war has been expensive to smaller merchants. With cigarets costing them $6 per 1,000 the package price has been (allowing for discount) 10.58?. Selling at two for 25?, the package profit has been only...
