Lucky Strike, Philip Morris, Old Gold, and Chesterfield went up to $6.50-a-thousand (after trade discounts). Reynolds put Camels up just short of this -$6.48 a thousand...
Third Generation. In the lurid brilliance of George Washington Hill, his associates, all hand-picked by himself, seemed pale. But the men who know tobacco best knew that the company had a handful of capable top men from which to pick a new president. Last week gossip narrowed down to vice presidents Paul M. Hahn, 51, and George Washington Hill...
