...makers of 15?-a-pack cigarets last week did what they had been expected to do for a long time-slashed prices. Acting in concert as they always do, the Big Four -American Tobacco (Lucky Strike), Reynolds Tobacco (Camel), Liggett & Myers (Chesterfield), Lorillard (Old Gold)-dropped the wholesale price from $6.85 a thousand to $6.

Rise. Fourteen months ago 90% of the cigarets sold in the U. S. retailed for 15? a package. Tobacco was cheap, cigaret smoking was at its peak. The future looked fine and smoky to Tycoons George Washington (Lucky Strike) Hill, Samuel Clay (Camel) Williams, Clinton W. (Chesterfield) Toms and Benjamin L. (Old Gold) Belt. Acting in concert (though legally disassociated since American Tobacco Co.'s trust was dissolved) they had just upped the wholesale price of their cigarets from $6.40 to $6.85 per thousand (presumably on the strength of the new Cellophane wrapping).
