By contrast, Capital shuttles back and forth between cities as close as 50 miles apart, acting almost as a businessman's commuter line with all the extra expenses of many stops...
...family (Manhattan's Cullman Bros. Inc.) that owns some 80,000 shares (2.5%) of Philip Morris common stock, Joe Cullman graduated from Yale ('35), worked as a $15-a-week cigar-store clerk and a cigar maker in Cuba before joining Webster Tobacco Co., where he became Eastern sales manager in 1938. After four years in the Navy during World War II, he went to Columbia University with the idea of becoming a history professor, instead joined Benson & Hedges as vice president under his father, whose company controlled Benson & Hedges, helped boost sales of Parliaments from 100 million...
