A part of this increase can be attributed to the 5.4% increase in the price of cigarettes which was in effect during the last five months of the year. The increase in the unit sales ol' the company's brands of cigarettes over the previous year was 6.2%. Due to the higher prices paid for the last crop of flue-cured tobacco and to the larger stocks of leaf tobacco on hand at the end of the year, "there was an increase over last year in the inventory value of leaf tobacco amounting to $46,708,342.

The new modern cigarette factory at Durham, N. C,, is hearing completion and should be ready for occupancy within a few months. The 1949-1950 program calls for capital expenditures to provide increased facilities for handling leaf tcbaccos, modernization of the cigarette manufacturing plant at Richmond, Va., which will result in increased capacity and more economical operation, and the erection of a separate and altogether modern bidding for the research laboratory. Such expenditures in 1949-1950, including the completion of the new cigarette factory and equipment', may amount to as much During Dec. on notes and 31, defer needed expansion production facilities with iespect to buildings and equipment.
