...Four, Old Gold was always a peewee in comparison. Whether the new member of the Big Four can do better, can overtake the 38-45,000,000,000 sales of each of the big three, the tobacco industry waits to see.

Thus a new novel like Howard Spring's My Son, My Son!, now leading the field in New York City, has just begun to sell in the West and South, although its total sale of 12,000 copies last month puts it ahead of the most popular books of those regions.
