...Continental Tobacco Co. When they took stock of the business, they found themselves with various pipe tobaccos, expiring luxury cigarets and the two volume brands, Paul Jones (10?) and Marlboro (20?). Marlboro had always done well, was earning dividends for the whole company. But its 500,000,000-per-year sales were about the top for a 2O? brand. In Paul Jones there was little money at 10?.

In all his active life Samuel Insull never took a regular vacation. His periods of relaxation came at sea, usually two or three times a year, crossing...
Beer put a froth of new revenue on last week's Treasury announcement of April tax receipts. From April 7 to May 1, the $5-per-bbl. tax, the $1,000-per-year brewers' tax, the $50-per-year wholesalers' tax and the $20-per-year retailers' tax netted the U. S. $9,138,863 in 35 States. At that rate (surely below actual) the U. S. would realize some $110,000,000 per year from beer. In 23 days beer-bibbers in New York contributed $2,290,686 in Pennsylvania $1,363,704, in Wisconsin...
