What is Your Business Worth?
Amy business enterprise has several
Values. It has one value as a
going concern, but a different value
as cofiiteral. It has one' value for pur
poses of insurance and another for
taxation.
A consideration of all the factors
which have been used in determining
its value under the above heads gives
finally its intrinsic value, its business
worth.
fort. 33acon & "Stovfo Stavlte is .being
constantly used to determine such'
values, both for purposes of financing,
consummation of mergers, adjustment of
taxes and insurance, and determination'
of proposed plans and readjustments
to post war conditions. ,
Is it not possible that this service
would be of value to you?
We would appreciate the opportunity

Captain X at the Front
The Poilu fought on his "vin-ordinaire."
The Tommy on his tea.
But the Doughboy had to have his cigarette.
What he wanted was smoke, and plenty of it, and
that's what the round, loosely rolled, canteen cig
arettes gave him. Their round shape meant a free
and easy draught.
Captain X had taken with him a liberal supply
of his favorite PALL MALL, plain ends, but
found he could not replenish his supply at the
front, so he began smoking the popular, round
cigarettes. Their shape gave him an idea.
Back in America" once more, the Captain came
and gave us his idea, a big idea. He suggested
that we make PALL MALL cigarettes round in
shape, loosely rolled, a cigarette that does not
have to be tapped, squeezed or loosened, a ciga
rette with a free and easy draught.
A'cigarette made from the famous PALL MALL
blend of forty-two Turkish tobaccos, chosen for
richness and delicacy of flavor.
