...Turkish troops were scheduled this week to march peacefully over the southern border of Turkey into the 10,000-square-mile Sanjak (province) of Alexandretta, an autonomous district of French-mandated, soon-to-be-independent Syria. Sent back to Geneva on the demand of Turkey, at the request of France, was the League of Nations Commission which had been invited to supervise the election of a legislature which, if held, would have amounted to a plebiscite for Turkish or Syrian rule...
Salesman Lyon is Philip Morris' field commander. Its generalissimo is a man as different from him as Turkish tobacco from burley-a lanky, shy Virginian, Otway Hebron Chalkley. Vice President Lyon is breezy and backslapping, President Chalkley taciturn, reserved, at ease with finance and factory but not with strangers...
...Water, Cherry, Heaven, Hell-and a sober student. From school he went to work as an office boy for American Tobacco Co. at $3 a week, began a standard up-through-the-ranks career-factory manager in Newport News, clerk in Manhattan, a two year stint in Bulgaria buying Turkish leaf tobacco.

Mr. Ellis promptly launched Marlboro, a 20? cigaret which, with the benefit of an ivory tip, has sold a solid 500,000,000 a year since. Then he lured McKitterick back from a seven-year vacation in Europe and the two quietly began buying Philip Morris stock. In 1931 they had control...
...Flavor. In the Philip Morris factory in Richmond, where long lines of colored girls chant improvised songs all day long in the humid redolence of tobacco, Philip Morris cigarets are manufactured by virtually the standard process used by all the big popular brands-Turkish and U. S. tobaccos are mixed, sprayed with a special flavoring formula which gives each brand its own particular taste. Since taste is a big selling point, each brand's flavoring mixture is a trade secret, but the basis for all flavoring is rum. Only other ingredient cigaret companies reveal is a hygroscopic agent mixed...
