SOME TRUST
i
(Macon News)
The president of the International Paper Company, Mr. P. T.
Dodge, gives out an interview in which he uses this language:
“The contract price of paper for 1917, which has not yet been
fixed, will not be less than three cents at the mill.” This means
either that many publishers will have to make tremendous increas
es in the price of subscriptions and advertising or some of them
will have to go out of business. It may be fortunate that f:he In
ternational Paper Company does not control the entire supply, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, though this company is ‘‘some trust”
and does furnish paper to a very large number of the publishers of
this country. It remains to be seen whether other companies will
follow the example of the International.
In this connection a note whidh appears in one of the metro
politan newspapers in the commercial news is rather significant, as
also the tremendous advance within the last few months of the
quotations of the common stock of the International Paper Com
pany. The note is as follows:
“The International Paper Company has advanced the price of
news print to be delivered in 1917 S2O per ton, the greatest and
most spectacular advance in news print ever ordered. The nrice
advance means about $12,000,000 additional gross income, by far
the larger proportion of which should be represented in net.”
The common stock of the International Paper Company in the
early part of 1916 was quoted at about ten or twelve dollars per
share. It is now quoted between forty and fifty dollars per share.

Satisfy!— that’s anew thing
for a cigarette to do
It’s nothing for a cigarette to just taste good—lots of
cigarettes may do that. But Chesterfields do more—they
satisfy! Just like a thick, juicy steak satisfies when
you’re hungry.
Yet, with all that, Chesterfields are MILD !
No other cigarette can give you this new enjoyment
(satisfy, yet mild), for the good reason that no cigarette ►
maker can copy the Chesterfield blend —an entirely new
combination of tobaccos and the most important develop
ment in cigarette blending in 20 years. ,
