Atc-June-2012-Read-Only.Pdf 1885 James Buchanan ‘Buck’ Duke acquired the license for the first automated cigarette making machine; as a result, ATC cornered the cigarette business. 1902 In 1902 Imperial Tobacco (U.K.) and ATC formed a joint venture. 1890-1907 A trust inititated known as the American Tobacco company. The Duke family absorbed many competitive cigarette companies, 50 factories in all. 1911 The U.S. Court of Appeals dissolved the American Tobacco trust. Formerly independent companies, such as L&M, RJR and Lorillard, resumed business as competitive cigarette makers. 1916 ATC introduced the Lucky ATC president Percival Hill Strike Brand, a regular-sized created the slogan “It’s Toasted” 70mm, non-filtered, American in 1917, still used today on blended cigarette. Lucky Strike cartons. 1924 Honoring a $40 million dollar contribution by Buck Duke, Trinity College in Durham, N.C., changed its name to Duke University. 1928 The “Reach for a Lucky Instead of a Sweet” campaign created controversy with the candy industry. By 1931, Lucky Strike with the unique humidor package was the No. 1 selling brand. 1939 ATC launched Pall Mall 85mm, promising mildness due to the cigarettes extra length. 1940 “Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War” became a familiar slogan during World War II. 1944 The “L.S.M.F.T. – Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco” campaign gained popularity in the 1950’s. 1953 American Tobacco merged with American Cigar, and in December the company president, Paul M. Hahn, called a meeting of all the tobacco company executives. The infamous meeting led to the formation of the Tobacco Industry Research Committee. 1960 In spite of the extraordinary market shift to filter cigarettes, the non-filter Pall Mall was the national sales leader, during the early 1960s. 1969 ATC acquired several companies during the latter half of the 1960’s. In 1969 ATC was renamed American Brands, a holding company, which owned six subsidiaries, American Tobacco Co., James B. Beam Distilling Co., American Cigar, Sunshine Biscuits, Inc., Gallaher Limited, Duffy-Mott Company, Inc. 1970’s American Brands attained other companies in the 1970’s such as Master Lock Co., and The Andrew Jergens Co. a cosmetic company. In 1979 American Brands acquired the Franklin Life Insurance Company. 1991 American Brands purchased seven brands from the Seagram Company including: American whiskies Calvert Extra and Kessler, Canadian whisky Lord Calvert, Calvert gin, Ronrico rum, Wolfschmidt vodka, and Leroux liquor. The acquisition made the subsidiary Jeam Beam the third largest spirits company in United States 1994: no image needed, line will merge with B&W American brands exited the tobacco business by selling ATC to British-American Tobacco (BAT,) which merged ATC with BAT’s U.S.A. operation, the Brown & Williamson Company. The ATC brands marketed by B&W were Pall Mall, Lucky Strike, Carlton and Misty. 1996 American Brands changed it name to Fortune Company in 1996..

  • British American Tobacco's Submission to the WHO's
    British American Tobacco’s submission to the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control This is the submission of the British American Tobacco group of companies commenting on the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. We are the world’s most international tobacco group with an active presence in 180 countries. Our companies sell some of the world’s best known brands including Dunhill, Kent, State Express 555, Lucky Strike, Benson & Hedges, Rothmans and Pall Mall. Executive summary • The WHO’s proposed ‘Framework Convention on Tobacco Control’ is fundamentally flawed and will not achieve its objectives. • The tobacco industry, along with other industries involved in the manufacture and distribution of legal but risky products, is the subject of considerable public attention. It is important that the debate about tobacco remains open, objective, constructive and free from opportunistic criticism if we are effectively to address the real issues associated with tobacco. • British American Tobacco is responsible tobacco. We seek to operate in partnership with governments, who are significant stakeholders in our business, and other interested parties, based on our open acknowledgement that we make a risky product and therefore support sensible regulation. • British American Tobacco shares the World Health Organisation’s desire to reduce the health impact of tobacco use. This paper outlines British American Tobacco’s proposal for the sensible regulation of tobacco. • Our proposal will relieve the WHO of the cost and bureaucracy involved in its wish to become a single global tobacco regulator, leaving it free to do what it should be doing – policy orientation. Some facts about tobacco • Today over one billion adults, about one third of the world’s adult population, choose to smoke.

  • Group Income Statement
    news release www.bat.com 06 May 2009 BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO p.l.c. INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 • Strong revenue growth at both constant and current exchange rates • Volumes from subsidiaries increased 7 per cent to 170 billion • All four Global Drive Brands grew volume, with overall growth of 7 per cent Trading update British American Tobacco had a good start to 2009 and is continuing to build on the success achieved in 2008. Group revenue for the three months grew strongly in constant currency terms, driven by the continued good pricing momentum and volume growth from the acquisitions made in the middle of last year (Skandinavisk Tobakskompagni (ST) and Tekel). All regions contributed to this good result. Revenue benefited further from the favourable impact of significant exchange rate movements which more than offset the adverse transactional impact of exchange rates on costs. Group volumes from subsidiaries were 170 billion, up 7 per cent, mainly as a result of the acquisitions of ST and Tekel. Excluding the benefits of these acquisitions, volumes were in line with last year with premium volumes slightly ahead. The four Global Drive Brands continued their strong performance and achieved overall volume growth of 7 per cent. Dunhill was up 8 per cent, Kent 3 per cent, Lucky Strike 4 per cent and Pall Mall grew by 11 per cent. Cigarette volumes The segmental analysis of the volumes of subsidiaries is as follows: 3 months to Year to 31.03.09 31.03.08 31.12.08 bns bns bns Asia-Pacific 43.3 42.9 179.5 Americas 37.9 39.2 161.0 Western Europe 29.7 25.1 122.6 Eastern Europe 27.1 29.1 137.3 Africa and Middle East 31.5 22.1 114.2 169.5 158.4 714.6 Trading environment This performance was achieved against general trading conditions which became tougher during the quarter with lower industry volumes in a number of key markets and a deceleration of growth in the premium segment.

    REFLECTIONS JANE DRINKARD, grade 12 M A Y C O H A N G R A D E 1 2 REFLECTIONS is the annual magazine of literature and art of The Berkeley Carroll Upper School. Students meet weekly to discuss the magazine’s high standards, the soliciting of submissions, and their own writing in progress. In February, the editors chair small groups who read and critique anonymous submissions. After the preliminary critiques, the editors choose and edit the final selections and lay out the magazine. The striking artwork and writing in this magazine were all crafted by Berkeley Carroll Upper School students, occasionally to fulfill class assignments but always from the engines of their own creativity. This has been a record-breaking year for Reflections. New, energized staff bolstered the many dedicated veteran members and provided fresh perspectives for the magazine. Reflections will no doubt continue to expand and flourish under their leadership. Our never- tiring faculty advisors, Mr. Chu and Ms. Drezner, were steadfast with their support of this volume. The process of publishing this magazine would not be complete without the help of Berkeley Carroll’s Director of Communications, Jodie Corngold, and the design talents of Bob Lane at Studio Lane. Finally, thank you to all who shared their work with us. Without you this magazine would not exist.

  • The Cigarette Card Series of W. Duke, Sons &
    CAPITALIZING ON TABOOS IN ADVERTISING: THE CIGARETTE CARD SERIES OF W. DUKE, SONS & COMPANY by Janet Katelyn Hammond Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of History and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science May, 2018 Approved by: Michael C. Behrent, Ph.D., Thesis Director Katherine E. Ledford, Ph.D., University Honors Second Reader Allison Fredette, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Second Reader Michael C. Behrent, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director Jefford Vahlbusch, Ph.D., Dean, The Honors College Hammond 1 Abstract This essay reveals the themes displayed in the cigarette card series produced at W. Duke, Sons & Co. from 1880 to 1900. The following mainly draws upon the cards themselves, the Duke family’s and the business’s correspondence, and other miscellaneous company notes. Topics covered include: a historiography, a family history, an overview of the cigarette and tobacco industries, late-eighteenth century capitalism and advertising methods, the interworking of the Duke company, and how the cigarette card series reflect all of these components. The overall argument is that the executives of this enterprise cashed in on the taboos of this time period while offering no new perspectives about the existing social hierarchy in the United States.
