The very purpose of the 150's is defeated in a house team; on such a team there is no equality, for you still have the very heavy, the very light, the very large, and the very small.

Last week Mr. Williams reported net 1931 earnings of $36.396,816. The previous high (1930) was $34.256,665. In contrast to his predecessor, Bowman Gray (now chairman) who is a great tobacco sales man, and to William N.
