...personally responsible for the newest Lucky Strike campaign ("An ancient prejudice has been removed") is not known. One explanation of the end of the $6 cigaret price was that leaf tobacco is more expensive this year. Another suggestion is that the move was originated by the Brothers George Kenan and Frederick Morrow who recently entered the tobacco industry (TIME, Sept. 2) by acquiring control of the United Cigar Stores of America, the Tobacco Products Co. and the Union Tobacco Co. While the Morrows are not identified with the large manufacturers, their position in the distributing end could make their influence...
...weeks ago United Cigar Co, and Tobacco Products Corp. changed hands (TIME, Aug. 26). The hands into which they passed were those of George Kenan Morrow and his brother Frederick. Since the Morrows were known to be interested in a number of food products, Wall Street began to talk of a new food products combination, perhaps rivaling the recent Morgan merger (Standard Brands).

Speaking of the nineteenth century philosopher Renan, whose centenary has just been celebrated, M. France said that " he (Kenan) would have been shocked to see that so cruel a war was followed by a treaty which does not end it, which is nothing but the organization of disorder, hatred, discord and poverty in unfortunate Europe." Coming at such a time it is a deftly veiled disapproval of Poincare's policy in the Ruhr, but not too deft...
