...question of breaking training has again been dragged out into the limelight as the result of a meeting of the track team yesterday where the coach informed his men that he had definite proof in the shape of anonymous letters that some of them were breaking training.

Liggett 6 Myers fell only $46,000 short of equaling 1931's $23,121,000 and Reynolds earned $33,674,000 against $36,396,000. Reynolds earnings were actually $4,000,000 higher than reported, that figure representing the excess of advertising appropriations for 1932 against actual expenditures. Breaking in newspapers last fortnight was the new Camel campaign, handled and written by William Esty & Co. (TIME, Dec. 26). Its motif: "It's fun to be fooled. . . . It's more fun to know...
