    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., 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.

  • Durham Cultural Master Plan
    Durham Cultural Master Plan Summary August 2004 What You Need to Know about Durham’s Cultural Master Plan Why is Durham’s arts and culture sector a vital asset? - Durham’s cultural organizations and artists add $103 million annually to the economic activity in Durham. That’s a significant boost to our city’s economic development. - Arts and culture is a significant business sector of the current and future Durham. According to a recent state-wide research study on arts economic impact in North Carolina, the average number of non-profit arts and cultural organizations per county in our state is 19. Durham County has more than 150 non-profit arts and cultural organizations, and more than 900 artists. Additionally it has a lively mix of commercial arts and entertainment providers. - A number of Durham’s own cultural assets are known internationally and nationally, including African American Dance Ensemble, American Dance Festival, NCCU Jazz Ensemble, Full Frame Film Festival, The Hayti Heritage Center and its Blues Festival, Durham Arts Council, Mallarmé Chamber Players, and the arts museums of NCCU and Duke. - Ninety percent of respondents to the Durham Cultural Master Plan’s Civic- Community-Business Leaders Survey agreed that arts and culture provide great ways to learn about our various ethnic and racial backgrounds. Ninety-two percent of the survey respondents agreed that “learning art skills is an important way to master other basic skills.” - National studies have proven that arts programs decrease youth delinquency, enhance a child’s development, encourage conflict resolution, build tolerance and self-respect, provide safe havens for youth, reduce criminal activity, teach job skills, improve attitudes, behavior, and academic performance.

  • Interpreting Historic Site Narratives: Duke Homestead on Tour
    INTERPRETING HISTORIC SITE NARRATIVES: DUKE HOMESTEAD ON TOUR Rachel Crockett Kirby A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Program of Folklore in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Bernard L. Herman Marcie Cohen Ferris Gabrielle A. Berlinger © 2016 Rachel Crockett Kirby ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rachel C. Kirby: Interpreting Historic Site Narratives: Duke Homestead on Tour (Under the direction of Bernard L. Herman) This thesis uses Duke Homestead State Historic Site and Tobacco Museum as an ethnographic case study to explore a new vocabulary for understanding the power, politics, and production of historical narratives as communicated on guided walking tours. By examining narratives as they fluctuate along an arc from the scripted, the spoken, and the received, I discuss moments of sense-making, discomfort, and disconnect as they occur on the historic site. I focus on the tours’ inclusion, exclusion, and negotiation of Caroline, a young girl who was owned and enslaved by Washington Duke, through which societal expectations of history can be examined in relation to the desires and goals of those who wrote the tour script. Her story offers an example of narrative discomfort, negotiated through hesitation, elision, and derision within the spoken presentation. Many voices contribute to the construction and perpetuation of historical narratives, and this thesis uses the voices of site employees, interns, volunteers, and visitors to understand the dynamism of place-based history. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As both an undergraduate and graduate student at UNC, I have been supported, guided, and encouraged by countless faculty and graduate students, so I begin my thanks there.

Keywords: Leadership, Advancement, Personal Development Orientation to Duke University – History, Tradition & Mission Duke University in Durham, North Carolina traces its origins to 1838 to Methodist and Quaker families in rural Randolph County, NC. In 1892, after a spirited competition among piedmont cities, Trinity College (now East campus) opened in Durham, largely because of the generosity of Washington Duke, an influential and respected Methodist who became prosperous in the tobacco industry. In 1924, James B. Duke established The Duke Endowment, a forty million dollar trust fund, for a university to be built around Trinity College and for the creation of a new campus. So begins Duke University and the construction of the new West, or Gothic, campus. This session orients you to Duke University, the campuses, the history, the area and more.

  • American Tobacco Company
    By Patrick G. Porter GRADUATE STUDENT IN HISTORY JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY Origins of the American Tobacco Company E During the 1880's and 1890's, the innovations of James Buchanan Duke first disrupted and then rationalizedthe American tobacco industry. Duke's career and the early history of his American Tobacco Co. serve as case studies in both the history of business administrationand in the comingof "bigbusiness" to the UnitedStates. Like many other American industries processing agricultural products for urban, mass consumption, the cigarette business un- derwent great changes during the 1880's. Innovations in produc- tion processes caused supply to outrun demand and drove manu- facturers into severe competition. Packaging and advertising became the major competitive weapons as producers vied to market relatively undifferentiated products that were saleable only within a narrow price range. Despite increased advertising and organiza- tional integration, however, the industry's growth rate declined. Then, the man who had initiated most of the revolutionary innova- tions - James Buchanan Duke - succeeded in leading his industry into combination by founding one of the first great holding com- panies in American history?. When Duke's American Tobacco Co. was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the summer of 1890, it signaled the combination of the major producers in its industry. Its five constituent companies produced approximately 90 per cent of the cigarettes made that year in the United States, and from this base, the company's growth was phenomenal.2 By 1909, its equity capitalization had increased from $25,000,000 to over $316,000,000. In the two decades after its founding, American Tobacco absorbed approximately 250 separate companies and came to produce about 80 per cent of the cigarettes, plug tobacco, smoking tobacco, and snuff made in the United States.
