Tobacco

Camel cigarettes are the favorite smoke among U.S. forces in France and enjoy a 40 percent share of the U.S. market as R. J. Reynolds dies at his Reynalda estate outside Winston-Salem, N.C., July 29 at age 68. Camel sales exceed those of American Tobacco's Lucky Strike and Liggett & Myers's Chesterfield.
